ABOUT ME

Currently in my general surgery residency at OHSU. I enjoy meeting new people, exploring new areas, and traveling to new places. It's such a pleasure to meet people who come from a different (or similar) background from me and to learn more about their story. Fun fact, I have a very distinct laugh, and I love to laugh, so if you ever meet me, you will probably hear me before you see me :)

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've always loved to traveling, but I sometimes found it daunting to pick up and go to a city that I've never been. I love the idea of couchsurfing because it gives me a resource for meeting locals in a new city, who often have similar interests as me.

Music, Movies, and Books

I'm a huge sucker for any type of live music, especially live blues music. But I tend to listen to a variety of music, just depending on what my mood is. I read a lot of different books, currently I'm diving into some of Carrie Fischer's work. Any author that can craft a good story I'm usually a fan of.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've delivered babies. So that's kind of cool.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm happy to teach anyone about my experiences, and things I've learned so far in life. I would love to learn more about other cultures and other people's experiences, because we all have a unique story. Being able to share our stories with others is so important to improving the dialogue around important issues we all face in society.
