Hi! I'm a UX/UI designer in Vancouver, Canada. I've been here for just over 10 years and moved around a bunch before that because my dad was in the air force. I live for nature; hiking, skiing, biking, newly certified Open Water explorer! I work hard at work so love to recharge away from computers.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm planning a trip to the Bahamas and am spending a night in Nassau before I embark on a 6 day liveaboard. I thought it would be fun to stay with some folks and get some local insights on what would be fun to do that night.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Got my scuba open water cert last fall. It was something I've wanted since I was a kid and thought I was going to become a marine biologist and work for National Geographic. I'm not a marine biologist, nor do I work for NatGeo, but I'm really excited to start exploring underwater and the ways we can create sustainable behaviours surrounding our oceans and water sources going forward.
