CURRENT MISSION

Empowering myself and others to create the world we want to see

ABOUT ME

Grew up outside of NYC but moved west in 2007 to explore. I left my rat-race job out east to find something that would help me incorporate my values into my lifestyle better. I currently am quite involved in my local community, a civil engineer, and a community/social/climate justice activist. I volunteer at a local radio station, go a lot of live music, foster dogs, and enjoy eating out and spending time with my friends. I love new experiences.

PHILOSOPHY

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."
-Marianne Williamson

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I would love to host some couch surfers after I talk to my roommates, but I'm also looking for people to hang out with when I go on my aforementioned random trips. I can provide lots of detailed information about SLC too.

Above and beyond my expectations.
