ABOUT ME

I am a very sociable person with a sense of humor and am open to meeting new people. I respect the privacy of others and appreciate any offering to crash on someone's couch when I am traveling.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I often travel to different cities in the US for academic conferences and need a place to stay. As part of the conference experience, however, I enjoy getting to meet other people and students along the way.

Interests

My interests include eating, trying new foods, wine, beer, speaking Spanish and learning Arabic. I love meeting people from different backgrounds and cultures!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I got to teach English to elementary-age children in Italy last summer!

When I was 14, my team won first place in our division at the cheerleading world championships.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Engaging conversation of language acquisition, cognitive neuroscience of language, and why it's normal to cambiar entre español e inglés in the middle of a sentence.
