I’m a School Psychologist working in the San Francisco Bay Area. I’ve worked to help kids since I was 18, and will likely continue well into the foreseeable future. When traveling, I like to walk the area for hours to get a sense of things, and really enjoy hearing the stories of those I stumble on.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To experience local spots in a way that tourists generally don’t!

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all types of music, though tend to beer towards hip hop, rnb, acoustic, and indie.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In Iguazu, Argentina, I visited the falls. The lower trail was closed off for weeks because a puma was hunting the area. I’ve always wanted to stand underneath a waterfall, so I asked a local friend to help me sneak onto the trail. We planned the heist, hopped on his motorcycle the next day, and found my way to the waterfall, undetected.

Good things take time, nothing great ever came easy; keep pushin’, stay focused.
