CURRENT MISSION

To figure out how I will make it through 2 months in Boston!

ABOUT ME

I'm a recent grad from UC Irvine where I received a B.S. in civil engineering. I'm a member of the TEDx community and have hosted 4 different events and coached over 40 individuals. Currently I am seeking to nudge myself into the startup and entrepreneurial world of tech!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Just getting started but my first experience was by pure chance in Palm Springs. The individual I said with recommended that I join the community but I have not done so until now that I am going to a bootcamp in Boston for two months. I hope Couchsurfing helps me become acquainted with the new city and get my feet settled as I will be using up all of my savings in order to participate in the program. I hope to be able to give back to the community as soon as I have a place to do so with.
