Overview
About Me
CURRENT MISSION
Pay-forward all those that hosted me; by hosting others :).
ABOUT ME
I currently work at a community college as a Dean and enjoy swapping stories and sharing experiences with travelers. I am an avid marathoner and nature enthusiast.
PHILOSOPHY
I'm somewhat blinded by the good in people and have the tendency to evaluate things in a positive light, even when things may seem overwhelming negative. I am not religious but, I'm somewhat spiritual. I feel rejuvenated and at complete peace, when immersed in nature. Lastly, I try to reciprocate the good fortune I have experienced throughout my life, with hopes of positively impacting others.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
I have hosted a few folks and had a great time :). I've been on quite the hiatus from CS, but I am looking to re-engage with the community.

Music, Movies, and Books
My taste in music, books, and movies is very eclectic. I can appreciate most genre's and don't have a particular preference.
Teach, Learn, Share
Through classroom and service learning I've learned about the inequalities that stem from privilege and the discrepancies between those with privilege and those without.
I have a strong passion for social justice and serving underrepresented groups. Moreover, I crave cultural experiences, whether it be through learning or immersion, I highly value cultural diversity.
