Hey there, glad you stopped by. I'm a 1st year PhD student in chemical engineering at UC Berkeley. My passions and interests lie with the environment, and my current work revolves around batteries and how to make them better. My hobbies include rock climbing, camping, kayaking, traveling, laughing, and meeting new friends!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm couchsurfing because I really want to explore the world. However, like most grad students, I don't have the money to explore in luxury, so I thought that couchsurfing would be a great alternative.
