I'm a bit of a literature nerd. love, love, love Zadie Smith, Faulkner, Woolf, Ellison, Morrison, DFW and more.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Camped out on a NYC sidewalk for 52 hours waiting in line for Hamilton cancellation tickets.
Swam with baby sea lions in the Galapagos Islands.
Taught a Shakespeare course at a county jail -- life-changing.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I love meeting people but I'm also very independent -- spend as little or as much time with me as you'd like!

Lucky enough to have traveled quite a bit. I love sharing and hearing stories and am always up for good food and drinks.

I've been told that I know a ton of random facts. Also that I'm a dog whisperer.
