I grew up in the suburbs of Cincinnati. After graduating from high school I started attending the University of Cincinnati where I graduated in 2013. I have developed a strong passion for sustainability, historic preservation, and public transportation.

While I don't play any instruments myself, I love going to concerts. If you are ever in Cincinnati and need to know where to go and who to see I would gladly direct you to the best shows each night. My favorite genres include indie rock, folk rock, soul, bluegrass, and much more.

Favorite Sports Teams:
Soccer/Football: FC Cincinnati, 1. FC Köln
Baseball: Cincinnati Reds, Detroit Tigers
Hockey: Detroit Red Wings

**Due to the changes at Couchsurfing requiring paid users, I am trying to be more active on BeWelcome. I will likely still check Couchsurfing for new requests, but I would prefer to use BW from now on to boost my profile there and support a more independent organization.**

PHILOSOPHY

Think about what could be instead of what could have been.

"Worrying is like a rocking chair, it gives you something to do, but never gets you anywhere" - Anonymous (Leah Kozlowicz)

I really like the Oxford Comma. I think it adds clarity.

I had to evacuate a subway tunnel while on vacation in Paris due to a suspected terrorist attack.
