I’m a Psychology PhD student (with other degrees in Biological Anthropology) at the University of Cambridge I’m originally from the US (Kentucky), but have lived mainly in Europe (Germany, France, Switzerland, Luxembourg, and the UK) the past 7 years (2018-current). I really enjoy, learning languages, meeting people, long conversations, experiencing diverse culture, and everything food (I'm rather good at cooking & baking as well)!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Moved from the US to Europe in order to teach English & German to the children of a Russian family so that I could afford to finish my undergraduate education.

Teach, Learn, Share

Can have nice discussions about topics spanning anthropology (social & biological), psychology, linguistics, neuroscience, history, biology, and more. I have a very multidisciplinary background and teach undergraduate across a lot of fields while I'm a PhD student at the University of Cambridge.

Also happy to cook and bake with my hosts!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Civilised intellectual conversation and my time if they’re free to hang out, explore, chat, or eat with me!
