Overview
About Me
I am a graduate student in genetics and medicine at UNC (University of North Carolina) in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. I couch surfed years ago, in college, through Iceland and Denmark and loved meeting people in that way.
Parlo un po di Italiano e voglio continuare ad imparare!
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I am attending a genetics conference in Barga, Lucca, Italy from Feb 22 to 27. I want to tour around Northern Italy and Switzerland for fun for a week. I am leaving from Zurich on March 5.
Interests
I love running, tennis, meeting new people, food, and wine. I love movies, especially Wes Anderson, Woody Allen, and other dry/dark comedy.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
Ran a 10mi (16km) race in 67 minutes? Conducted a study on the fusion protein on the surface of dengue virus to figure out how it works? Depends what you think is amazing! Oh, I thought of one -- I visited Cuba in 2005 -- pretty amazing for an American!
Teach, Learn, Share
I could teach about medicine, genetics, English language, playing tennis, or computer science?
I want to learn the Italian language!
What I Can Share with Hosts
I love talking about the English language. I speak very good English, know a ton of words, a ton of idioms. Oodles of adages. An abundances of phrase. A cornucopia of expressions.
