I have been living in Madrid, Spain this past year teaching english. Living in Europe has exposed me to a whole lot of great people, and I’m hoping by couch surfing this trend continues. I was born in Canada but I’ve spent the majority of my life in California, mostly eating burritos and going to the beach. I studied neuroscience in school and was on the path to become a psychiatrist, but found that working with kids with autism is where my real passion lays. I plan to continue that path when I return to the US.

I like beers in the park and interesting people and stories and experiences.

I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by good people, food, and music.
