I am a grad student looking to reduce my commute to Weber State from Salt Lake County where my partner, 3 younger kiddos, and 2 golden doodles live😁.

I am a first-generation college student that is pivoting my career of ~20 years in foodservice to social work. I love my queer community and advocate for us as a therapist and activist.

As an introverted-extrovert, I love to find grounding and centering spaces after connecting with lots of folks.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to explore traveling for leisure through this app in the future, but for now it is primarily to get through my last year of my MSW program with some self care by reducing my commutes!
