About Me

CURRENTLY in undergrad at The New School for Urban Studies and Temporary Environments

PAST led workshops in soapbox car building, boat building teacher that has never sailed (well, not *really*), can't swim, worked at an art gallery

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Because spending time with people who call the place I'm visiting home enriches and informs the experience of being somewhere new

Interests

Teaching since age 12 in some capacity or another, and can't separate the goal of access to and celebration of learning from everything I've done- whether it be to craft, knowledge, cultures, teaching and learning methods, or opportunities for honest conversations.

Walking, and also sitting.

Hope to one day live on a houseboat

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I ran a summer day camp this past summer which I nearly doubled in size from last year, remade the schedule for and moved to a new location. Hundreds of kids, a staff of nearly 40 teenagers and skilled artists, and projects GALORE

Teach, Learn, Share

If you have 3+ wheels, wood, and some tools I can help you build a soapbox car

What I Can Share with Hosts

Some laughs, or maybe just some postcards? Groceries? Just kidding, there's lots to share- talking about teaching and making food together

Countries I’ve Visited

France, Germany, Iceland, Panama

Countries I’ve Lived In

Israel, United States
