I am an undergraduate college student majoring in exercise and sport science. I have a passion for working with children and plan to attend physical therapy school after graduation and become a pediatric physical therapist.

When I'm not in school or shadowing at a physical therapy clinic, I spend most of my time with my friends. I have an amazingly tight-knit group of friends and I wouldn't be able to survive college without them. I am also fortunate enough to have my family live close by and they come to visit often.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I think the coolest part about visiting a place is to have the chance to interact with locals and really have the opportunity to see the place through their eyes.

I was in Israel this past summer and I had the chance to meet and stay with some truly amazing Israelis. I learned so much more about the country and got to see so many unique things because they wanted to show me their home and what they loved about living in Israel. My experience was enriched because I was able to see the country through their eyes.

Interests

I love being outside and doing outdoor activities like hiking and hammocking. I love sports, especially basketball and soccer. When I have the time, I find reading very relaxing and also enjoy playing board games and card games.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite type of music is country. I absolutely love the movie She's the Man and like to read whatever my mom puts on her Kindle account.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I volunteered in a children's rehabilitation facility in Israel for two months and had to speak Hebrew with all the children. When I arrived in Israel did not know any Hebrew but it was amazing to me how much I learned and how easily I was able to communicate and connect with the children even though we did not speak the same language.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am on the road to getting certified as a personal trainer, so I am happy to share workout tips or do a mock workout session if you get to meet me in person!
