I'm a 32 year old social enterprise tech founder. I’ve lived in DC for 10 years, originally moving here after graduating from Brown to work in a Senator's communications office, and stayed to pursue more amazing opportunities, as well as my PhD.

Personality-wise, I'm an outgoing relationship builder and love meeting new people. I'm on the boards of a few nonprofits and have been actively working to cultivate our local startup community over the last few years.

I don’t smoke and am a clean, low maintenance surfer!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wish I used this site sooner! Anyway, money is tight in the social good startup life, but that doesn't mean I'm not without awesome resources and abilities to trade on!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

ACA (Obamacare)... I was theWH Leg Director that got it passed in the Senate. It's saved a few lives, no biggie... but it's one of the reasons I left the game.

Teach, Learn, Share

I shock people with how much stuff I know. Hell, I'm a doctor!

Access to ANY of the big holiday parties in DC... embassies, WH, tech, etc...
