Hello brilliant minds! I’m a graduate student who appreciates life! I’m completing my Ph.D. in Educational Psychology with an M.A. in Cognitive and Social Processes. In addition to my academics, I also have a passion for minimalism, health, and fitness!

I have a fur baby named Tyrion. He’s a house trained, polite lionshead rabbit. In the future I would love to travel with him, but I do not anticipate him tagging along on many adventures.

Couchsurfers I have hosted: Jacklyn from Florida

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I’m interested in traveling and meeting new people. I adore my studies, but they have prevented me from exploring in the past. I’ve decided to change that this year! I love conversing with new people!

Completed the Indy Ultra (13.1+26.2; 13.1+13.1) in 2017 and 2018! Setting the bar high for 2019!

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach: I love discussing consumerism and various social constructs. I’m happy to share any knowledge that I have. (Cognition, social psychology, sexuality, diversity, etc.)
Learn: My research includes Need for Cognition, which assesses how much individuals enjoy learning. I love learning! I’ve recently taken up chess and am always open to playing! I would love to learn more about religion, being a conscious consumer, and work/life balance! Also just started rock climbing!
Share: Positivity and optimism.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Genuine appreciation and happiness. I would love to hear about the adventures other have been on! I also love hearing about topics people are passionate about.
