CURRENT MISSION

Live fully, get more involved in my community.

ABOUT ME

I spend most of my time working with young people at a non-profit job training program and when I'm not working, I'm reading ALL the books! I could read for days. Married to courchsurfer Matthew Dickey and we try to have adventures here in Boston and beyond whenever possible. Adventures involve coffee and/or donuts 98% of the time.

PHILOSOPHY

Do good. Treat people with kindness. Live and let live. We can always learn something from each other.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I'm not as active as I could be, as my introverted personality keeps me in a lot. I have several CS friends and have surfed, but have not hosted due to living situations involving large numbers of people sharing 1 bathroom. Excited to share our space with new friends!

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I've had fun at several CS potlucks in Boise and have met lots of great CS folks here in Boston!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I spent 5 months traveling and volunteering in Peru, and although I decided I hated hiking after this trip, I made it up Hyayna Picchu and got the best view ever. Absolutely worth it.

Teach, Learn, Share

I am a grammar beast. I have a zillion books in a collection that's always growing and an obsession that I can't curb-happy to share!
