Hi! I'm a PhD student in social psychology who studies people's life stories, including how we make sense of our life's stories and how we can use our life stories to improve our lives and the lives of others! I'm also a Certified Coach who helps people cultivate greater mental health, meaning, and impact through reconstructing their life stories.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I recently traveled all 50 United States in 14 Months with my best-friend. We wanted to meet everyday people across the US, learn about their stories, and simply forge authentic connections along the way. We met so many amazing people through CS, and I hope to meet more as a host now!

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I faced a lot of difficulties growing up (lost both my parents and many more challenges). I think it's amazing that I've been able to overcome many of those life challenges through my love of learning and loving people.

教，学，和分享

I have an incredible wealth of knowledge about psychology, especially narrative psychology, and the psychology of self and identity and persuasion. I also have had a very complex upbringing as a result of loosing both of my parents and many other complicated events, and I love to share about that experience and the lessons I've learned.
