I am a very outgoing and bubbly person! Don't be surprised if I break out in a random song and dance!

I am training to be a director for musical theatre but for now I am a freelance theatre worker for production with a specialisation in stage management. I've worked professionally in the US, the UK, Australia, and Italy including gigs in New York City, Sydney, London, and Edinburgh and in events such as the Virginia Shakespeare Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

My life is just about going where the wind takes me. I was born in California, lived in Virginia, studied in Germany, and am a graduate of the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I would love to meet people from all around the world speaking many different languages and living in many different cultures. I live for traveling and always try to take away a "true" experience from any new country I visit.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

At 17 years old I started my own community theatre company and directed 3 full productions with it: The Fantasticks, The Sunshine Boys, and Pippin.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have just moved to Toronto this past October and I visit places I've lived frequently and can offer tours and advice about the cities I know best. If you catch me in any of these places, I'd love to show you around!

-New York City
-Washington DC
-London
-Glasgow
-Edinburgh
-Hannover
-Sydney
-Melbourne
-Toronto

I am also really good at giving advice for travel on a budget and can recommend fun things to do at very low or non-existent prices!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I absolutely love to cook; it's a hobby of mine! I was informally trained by a professional chef and am always inventing my own recipes.

I would be honoured to be asked to prepare you a meal!
