Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Follow weak moments to do big things. Be human. Eat lots of wild plants.
ABOUT ME
Born and raised in Austin, TX.
I like riding my bike around the city at night, cooking, friends+beer, friends+wine+cheese, windows, forests.
Right now I'm working on my PhD at Cornell and enjoying gorgeous Ithaca.
PHILOSOPHY
Understand and experience beauty.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
Not too much yet, but I'd like to change that.
Interests
Generally, I'm interested in things that I know about. I'm interested in knowing more about more things. I've wanted to be a biologist for most of my life, and I'm currently doing a PhD in evolutionary biology to turn my obsession into a career (hopefully).

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
I've stood in the middle of an abandoned airfield in south Texas, and listened to Shostakovich's 4th Symphony loudly while storm clouds threw lightning bolts in the distance.

Hm...I can play piano, teach how to read music, identify North American and Panamanian birds, identify insect families.
