About Me

CURRENT MISSION

ABOUT ME

For the last 9 years, I have worked in the non profit world running environmental and human rights campaigns. This last year, I decided to take a break and become a doula. My time is now filled with supporting mothers through labor and witnessing the miracle of birth time and time again.

I'm always up for an adventure!

PHILOSOPHY

Tomorrow the sun will rise and who knows what the tide will bring in.

Open heart, open mind.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Until I move into my new place in December, more than excited to meet up and make new friends.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

Since I graduated college, I have worked at non profits and moved around the country from campaign to campaign. Luckily, I met some really nice activists and fellow staff that were able to host me during my sometimes 2 month stints couch surfing.
