Hi there! :) I'm Selena and I'm new to CS. I'm originally from Milwaukee, WI, USA and I now live in San Francisco, CA. I moved out here after landing a research position at Lawrence Berkeley Lab and decided to stay to get away from a small, regressed town in Wisconsin where my college is (Appleton, WI), AND to help advance my career in physics/STEM and network in the Bay Area.

I am very outgoing and easy to talk to. I'm also a great listener. I love avocado, coffee, homecooked meals, stouts/beers, and live music. I also love to kick back and read or binge-watching shows on Netflix. I try not to take myself or life too seriously, while also being conscious and respectful of others.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Many of my friends have used Couchsurfing and said it's a great way to meet people and have real experiences guided by locals. I am looking for places to go and people to meet!
