CURRENT MISSION: I am currently interested in exploring the unknown. In expanding my knowledge of the world around me. In unlearning what I know and relearning everything I've been taught.

ABOUT ME: I am an educator with a passion for students with disabilities. I was born and raised in California but I’ve had the privilege to call the Midwest home after living in Milwaukee and now Minneapolis. Traveling has gifted me with so many memories, experiences, and friendships. I am interested in social justice, educational equity, dancing/contact improvisation/movement and sports (volleyball, tennis, basketball).

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I started out on Couchsurfing during my time in Thailand and it became so much more than a couch to sleep on. I had some of my best memories traveling because of sharing time and space with people.

Interests

Connecting with people. Collective education. Revolutions. Organizing. But when I’m not trying to make the world a better place, I enjoy treasure hunting through geocaching!
