Los Angeles Native. New York University Tisch School of the Arts graduate. I'm 25 and work in the entertainment industry. Friend's would describe me as charismatic, funny, passionate, ambitious and genuinely interested in people and things! I'm especially interested in learning about other cultures through my favorite things... food, cinema, music, theater, dance, sports, art, and of course, good conversation.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

This will be my first trip to Europe and I want to emerge myself with the local people of the new places I'll be traveling through. I am so excited to see the world, finally!

I feel this shouldn't need to be said, but... If you're only interested in showing me around to try to be romantic with me, please don't reach out to me!

Music, Movies, and Books

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've always been passionate about the arts and education. It was my dream to go to a school that combined art and education at the highest level. So, I helped petition for the charter for my Performing Arts High School to be created in Los Angeles, California. I learned leadership tools, how to balance traditional homework with choreographing a tap dance routine, how to create artistic and academic projects with others and how to make others feel valued for their work too. All of that lead to me being the first student to be accepted into college from our first graduating class... which lead me to my next big artistic and academic adventure, studying Acting at NYU.

Teach, Learn, Share

The thing I can share most from all the wonderful teachers I've had, is how to be more compassionate and considerate of those around you. Small changes in the way in which we communicate, help strengthen relationships with friends, and respect and ownership of your personal self worth. I really love making people laugh!

What I Can Share with Hosts

A big hug! A good laugh or two. I promise we'll have fun!
