About Me

Graduate Student the University of Chicago's Fall 2017 "MUSE" Graduate Program (Museum and Exhibition Studies. Seeking a career change into the field of Exhibit Design, and am driven to bring customized design concepts to life in order to create meaningful experiences for others.

I am always looking for the opportunity to meet new people, learn, experience new things, and create new memories. I thrive in a creative environment with people who are open-minded, imaginative and innovative and am eager to take on the next challenge.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love the community and everything Couchsurfing allows people to do, including experiencing cities from different perspectives - especially when that perspective isn't available in a guidebook.

Interests

Travel, new music, weird music, meeting new people, getting drunk with those people, forgetting their names, and awkwardly asking their friend what it is.

I like to go out and have a good time, bars, clubs, whatever, but I also like the cultural side of the experience. I enjoy going to museums and seeing monuments, or stumbling upon a group of young Spanish people playing flamenco music in the back of a cave bar.

I like reading, writing, and I'm open to whatever else this crazy world has to offer.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Seeing the Western Wall in Jerusalem was one of the most incredible experiences of my life.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can clap with one hand, make a spaceship noise, and turn my hand around in a 360 degree circle on a flat surface.

Other than that, just meet me, and we'll figure it out.
