Writing has always been an immense passion of mine, and entering the fashion industry has given me an outlet to explore and refine my skills. I thoroughly enjoy the feeling of accomplishment that results in completing an article or interview for a publication, and there is nothing quite like the satisfaction of seeing your hard work on the page.

In addition to my writing work, I have also successfully produced three published photo shoots, including an outing as art director; this required coordinating teams of up to nine individuals including models, makeup artists, hairstylists, photographers, and designers.

In my spare time I enjoy playing piano and guitar and occasionally perform stand up comedy.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I always like meeting people from outside my own area; It's a cool way to make new friends and learn more about other cultures.
