I'm a fun-loving, easy going 22 year old with a sunny disposition and a passion for social justice and global health. Friends would describe me as driven, caring, talkative, and probably over-involved. I'm currently a 4th year at the University of Wisconsin-Madison studying Neurobiology and love learning from, and connecting with people. I enjoy traveling, food, and relaxing with friends. I'm thinking about medical school and would like to eventually help create strong global health systems.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing
