I'm working on some awesome projects in medicine, women's rights, and general nonprofits. My background is all over the place, and I look to contribute to society in positive ways. I have a lot of stories to tell, love discussions about solving the world's problems and enjoy doing so after preparing an excellent meal.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly to meet new people. To socialize and share stories.

Interests

I love the sciences (Physics/Math/Bio/Med/Chem/etc.). I have worked with homeless populations in a number of major US cities. I worked on preventing child abductions. I coordinate with counterparts at the UN predominantly on issues pertaining to women's rights, but more recently on general medical and nutritional approaches to healthcare. I work in robotics, like 3D printing, helped start [Freespace], and generally keep busy with awesome things.
