About Me

I love people. I love their ideas, their passions, their goals. And I love helping people. When I meet people, I want nothing more than to help them achieve their goals.

I was one of the founding engineers at an amazing company (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FiscalNote). I am saddened to be leaving the company, especially while it is accomplishing extraordinary feats, but it has always been one of my life goals to learn multiple languages and travel the world!

I am a huge foodie. Anything you want to know about the DC food scene, I am your #1 source. I've been to almost all of the recently ranked michelin star restaurants as well as the harder to find, hole in the wall spots.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to experience a country, and a culture, through the eyes of the native. I also want to be able to provide that experience for people who stay with me!
