About Me

Originally from Owings Mills, Maryland - moved to Florida with family - then left to NY for school - I've missed the upper east coast and I'm glad to be back. There are so many places in the area that have so much history and culture; to a degree that just doesn't seem to exist in Florida. NYC, Chicago, Boston, Skowhegan, Baltimore: they all have something unique and fascinating to offer.
In the next year, I hope to travel and network to develop art-film-media projects wherever the opportunity allows with the network of fascinating people formed along the way.

If you know of any great internship/apprenticeship and fellowship programs that relate to the topics listed below, a quick link or name would be greatly appreciated!

During this transient time, I hope to meet many new faces and get a better grasp of the myriad possibilities life offers through the people that live it, in all its styles.

Please don't hesitate to message me if you have any questions.

I'm a super chill, somewhat reserved person on account of being a deep thinker, but always approachable. The topics I really open up about are a far cry from small talk, but I like to believe there are many people, maybe someone like you, who save all their words for just that. Go big/deep, or go home :)

Being an obnoxiously positive person who doesn't take themselves too seriously, I try not to rub people who aren’t into that the wrong way.

If you feel like you understand my style/ want to get to know each other more and would get along with a deep, sincere, optimistic, earnest person like me, let's be good to each other and good people together.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I've been an artist my whole life, so I'm branching out into communications, other arts, and business to develop a community of inspired artists.

Looking for cool people to share space with!

What I Can Share with Hosts

It just so happens that I'm very interested in adding to my visual art portfolio online which could be a win for you. If you'd like, during my stay I would be glad to produce a portrait of you to enjoy long after my stay is over. Have your beauty and/or handsomeness frozen in time!
