About me:

I live in the Burbank in LA with my partner, and have been here for 4 years. I love meeting new people and going on adventures!

I have a laid back personality. I am very active and love the outdoors. I enjoy music, I am a photographer, I studied fine arts in college, I love good beer and wine, I enjoy eating tons of great food, and meeting new and exciting people. I enjoy road trips with Jared and our slobbery Great Dane pup. 🐶

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am fairly new to couch surfing. I have not yet surfed, but I have hosted before. I am always ready to meet up with someone to show them my city!

Music, Movies, and Books

Music - I enjoy many different types of music. I listen with an open mind....except when it comes to country and heavy metal 😂

Movies - documentaries and docu-series.

Books - I enjoying learning from what I read. I am most likely to be found reading books on psychology, geology, nature, history, art, and biographies. Currently reading “To Shake the Sleeping Self” by Jedidiah Jenkins

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I am very passionate about cancer prevention, science and innovative cancer care. I am an advocate in the community I work in, to provide cancer prevention education to people, and access to care. My stepfather died of a rare bile duct cancer 13 years ago - my work is a way to pay homage and remember him.
