I'm a 23-year old from Vancouver, BC, Canada. I enjoy the outdoors (particularly staring at the ocean from my hammock), film photography, team sports, spending time with my amazing support network, baking, cooking, and problem solving.

I recently graduated with a Bachelor of Kinesiology and spent the past year work in Student Affairs from a Coordinator role, as well as in health curriculum. For the upcoming year, I'm hoping to work as a clinical kinesiologist, clinical researcher, or in health & technology. When I'm not overwhelmed with work and school, I love to travel!

In a year's time, I'm hoping to enter a Doctor of Medicine program. At the end of the day, I look forward to a career in Family, Physical, or Sport Medicine, while balancing time in public health or health & technology.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I have some work trips planned for which I need to pay for training/conferences AND flights, so I would love to get to know locals while saving some money!
