Hi! I'm a student from California (US) getting my masters at the University of Oxford. Previously spent some time living around Western Europe and the Western US, love to travel, scuba dive, hike and cook 🌶️

My mission is to improve the way we live, work, and connect with technology. I like to say I've free-trialed careers as a lifeguard, surgical shadow, policymaker, software engineer, coffee slinger, raw material buyer, and venture capitalist while I've been a student and between my studies.

Meeting people of all different cultures, creeds, and convictions is incredibly rewarding. I've been an exchange student 3 times--in Spain, Germany, and Scotland. One certainty in life is that there is always something new to see, to learn, and to share. Feel free to reach out!

Por que estou no Couchsurfing?

I enjoy traveling and making friends while doing so. Travel is unfortunately expensive, and I am still on that sweet, sweet "student budget" :) Hoping to meet some cool people, learn about and experience new cultures and foods as well as share my own. I've made some great friends through CS thus far and can't wait for the next adventure!
