I am a college student trying to make the best of my time before a career really hits. I'm easy going, willing to try all sorts of new things. I am also an aspiring photographer, and have plenty to share from my travels. I love meeting new people and hearing their stories. I’m currently studying biomedical engineering at the University of Michigan, and have interned for Procter & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, and have published multiple papers on imaging sensor development.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

As above, I am a college student trying to travel on a college budget as well as have a good time getting to know new people.

Interests

I love spending as much time as I can in the outdoors while still balancing my busy engineering schedule. I do a lot of climbing, hiking, and going to breweries. Always willing to add something new to my interests list!

• photography

• music

Music, Movies, and Books

I am particularly into alternative music in particular, but will and do listen to anything else. I've easily seen over 100 bands in concert. I love a good thriller movie, or anything to really get your head thinking. My favorites are In Bruges and Interstellar.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you about photography or medical device development or the FDA approval processes... or anything else that might sound more exciting. I can also make pretty decent espresso drinks, and I love teaching others. I’m down to learn anything!

What I Can Share with Hosts

Anything from the grand ol' midwest! I am a pretty easy going but fun person, so hopefully you'll love to be around me. We could have deep conversations on the meaning of things, talk nerdy about engineering things, or talk about the outdoors! Really anything.
