Overview
About Me
I'm on a mission to travel with the wind and see what experiences I can find. Recent graduate from UW with a degree in Oceanography. Hoping to eventually share my love for the planet by being an environmental science educator, perhaps with film. But before I can honestly teach people about the world, I need to learn more about it! So I saved up all the money I could for one summer and am now spending my first few months as a graduate traveling and learning, learning, learning!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
My dad has been on Couchsurfing many-a-times and has had great experiences and met phenomenal people through it, I only hope the same for myself!

Music, Movies, and Books
My current dance jam is Back Pocket by Vulfpeck! Also digging Toro y Moi's new album. Currently reading Zen and The Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (recommended by my mentor for post graduation reflection/motivation). I love all films, watching, thinking, dissecting all shots and stories.
One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
For my senior thesis in college I built an experimental platform for monitoring fine scale nearshore ecosystem change, equipped with an underwater 360-degree camera and a surface level camera. The design and build process of creating this piece of ocean technology was indeed amazing, as it spurred many ideas and questions for future learning/development!
Teach, Learn, Share
I'm still a baby human with so much to learn! I can teach you about the ocean in return.
What I Can Share with Hosts
I'm beyond excited to meet people, explore new places, and learn about anything and everything! I can also make hella good pancakes, if that's intriguing.
