helllo friends! i love to swim in the ocean, make art and get wiggly on the dance floor. i am deeply interested in humans and how we make decisions and establish norms. currently, i work researching computational propaganda and the ethics of emerging technologies (e.g. internet of things, VR, AR) and despite the fact it can be demoralizing at times, i am endlessly impressed by the ingenuity and resilience of humans. when i travel i love to be in nature, learn about the history of the area, and watch sunrises and sunsets (cliche i know) can't wait to hangout :-)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have traveled a bit, but always with family or for research, so I am joining couchsurfing as part of my efforts to travel independently and truly get to know the areas I visit! I really love meeting new people and having friends from different backgrounds and regions has really enriched my life. I currently live in an intentional community in San Francisco, and as soon as a bed opens up, I can't wait to host couch surfers!
