I am an avid skier, longboarder and outdoor enthusiast. It is my dream to visit every continent. Some of the places that I am eager to visit are: Nepal, Iran, Sweden (my family is Swedish), Greece, and Peru, but the list extends way beyond these. Please reach out to me for whatever reason. I would love to talk to you.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I was a Mechanical Engineering race crew member on the University of Michigan Solar car team, who assisted with many different aspects of the car, Novum's, design, building and testing.

I competed in the 2017 Bridgestone World Solar Challenge--a 3000km race through the barren Outback of Australia. Our vehicle managed to run exclusively on solar power for the entire distance and placed 2nd in the competition. The race was 5 days long, and we camped out every night. It is an experience that I will carry with me forever.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I am very friendly and I know a lot about different cultures. I am eager to engage with others, and I pride myself in my ability to have authentic conversations with people. I can share lots of things with my hosts--especially if they are interested in skiing, surfing, and/or guitar/piano. I love to play musical instruments. I am well-versed in guitar, ukulele, banjo, and piano. I also do a bit of singing upon request!
