I am a generally positive, sympathetic individual who likes to plan out most of everything, including time devoted to spontaneity ;) I get the best and biggest moments of peace when I get to stand outside and just breathe and stare at the sky. Meeting people is my biggest hobby. I am respectful and understanding, and easy to get along with.

My faith is probably the most important thing in my life and drives everything else; I love listening to other people's ideas and learning from them too!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm taking a cross-country road trip to visit the schools I'm applying to for my master's degree! I want to become a biomedical engineer to work on medical devices and diagnostic tools for developing regions across the world. I'm applying to schools from North Carolina to Washington to Texas! and I need places to stay along the way :)

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I went shark cage diving with a company called The Shark Lady when I was studying in Cape Town, South Africa. I think the beady little shark eyes were the scariest part (._.)
