I’m an epidemiologist currently on a gap break. I live in Jersey City near NYC with my husband and our dog. I love traveling, hanging out with locals, and learning new languages—those are always my favorite parts of a trip. When I’m not on the road, I enjoy playing tennis and making art, especially jewelry and printmaking. I’m easygoing, curious, and always happy to share stories over a coffee or a walk around the neighborhood.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I’m also an active volunteer and advocate for female immigrants in NYC

Teach, Learn, Share

I teach statistics and experimental design at a local university. I’m fluent in both Chinese and English, and I’d be happy to show you how to make prints using minimal equipment you can easily find at home.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I enjoy exchanging skills and stories, and I’m always happy to share my language and art. I am a good cook too!
