Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Redefine how we approach higher education by helping students choose the right next step after finishing high school.
ABOUT ME
If I could I would live outside. And I did for a year in the Panamanian rainforest. If I could I would help everyone discover a love for learning and free/realistic/approachable ways to pursue learning. And I am, slowly but surely.
My top five favorite things are:
1. Large bodies of water
2. Creating things
3. My bike
4. Libraries and museums
5. Sunrises
PHILOSOPHY
Cherish the beauty of all of it.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I believe in the power of strangers becoming friends, and creating spaces to come together.
I have been the recipient of so much generosity from CoachSurfing and value all of the friends and encounters it has led to.
Interests
Recent things I am interested in include:
1. Nontraditional education
2. Handstands
3. Creating spaces for community to exist
4. The inside of the human mind
5. Collaging // making semi-cohesive art
