Outside is where I want to be. I am also a huge nerd and a committed academic. I am planning on attending dental school this coming fall.

In the winter I am a passionate snowboarder. In the summer I enjoy climbing and backpacking. I also enjoy to do Phish tour with my friends in the summer. For my current adventure to Oregon, my parents have agreed to host my dog so that I can pursue my dream of snowboarding Mt. Bachelor for the remainder of the season.

I am easy going. I like to read and listen to music. I love trying new things and experiencing new music, craft beer, poetry, and food. I like to dance (badly). MY best friend is my grandma (PJ) and I am really close with my family, especially my younger brother Sam. I do enjoy having a good (party) time, but snowboarding comes first. I wont harsh your mellow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to spend the rest of the winter shredding Mt. Bachelor- a lifelong dream. In this manner I want to celebrate my undergraduate accomplishments and mentally prepare for the challenges of dental school the lay ahead of me.
