ABOUT ME

Hardworking, dedicated, motivated, outgoing, respectful, emotionally intelligent, intellectual and professional.

I recently completed my PhD in Psychiatry where my research focused on training police how to interact with those that have mental health issues! After completing that, I began working for a startup called "ProTraining" and we are continuing to develop mental health training programs for police, emergency responders, and bus operators that are interacting with those that have mental illness. Training focuses on de-escalation, empathy & communication skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I LOVE to travel and meet new friends and have philosophical conversations! I love meeting new people, learning how they live, and creating friendships that may last a life time!

Another reason is that I travel is for work! We are a very new startup which means we are very low on funding! Any way I can save money, I try to.

I am unable to host anyone at this time, as I am currently living with family! I hope that will change sometime soon!
