About Me

Hello! I am new to couchsurfing and a budding screenwriter, currently working on my second feature film writing! I have, for the past few years, worked at some companies in Hollywood, helping them choose proper screenplays and films to acquire for distribution. At heart, I am a writer and director.

Toward the end of university, I developed a deep interest in neuroscience and neurophilosophical studies! Most of the material I write is very influenced by present-day science.

I have recently just graduated from university and am looking to explore, meet some lovely folks, and learn what I may from this life while I complete my writing projects in preparation to pitch them to be made on the big screen! :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I find beauty in community, and I feel it is opportunities on websites like this that allow for community, whether subtle or large, to be of the greatest, most genuine of impacts on the joy in people's lives! I was recommended to join this by a friend after I proposed a desire to venture out more, and I am happy to be able to explore while working on projects I am very passionate about, simultaneously.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Read movie scripts years before they came out in theaters, which is always so crazy to see!

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach a lot about philosophy, cognitive science, psychiatry, and music! (I know a lot of instruments and how to compose!) - and of course, much about the film world!

I would love to learn about other cultures, history, and languages.

I can share fascinating stories and lessons from me and my family's lives. I can also share appreciation through cooking, creating, and support!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am an adaptable helping hand - this past summer I was organic farming while writing, and supported my boss in getting the farm on its feet! Let me know what you may need support with!
