Writer and illustrator living in LA. I coordinate an MFA in Design and produce performance art and installations. Whenever I have the time, I like to travel/road trip around the country.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I wanted to find a new way to travel and meet locals who could show me the hidden gems in their cities, while still being relatively independent.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

In New Mexico, while driving on state highway 60, I was stopped by state police and had to detour around a bomb testing in the middle of the desert.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm in-tune with the arts scene and have experience running my own events. I've produced large-scale events for the LA Central Library and held small personal events like book swaps. Happy to share my experiences and give advice about connecting to the arts in community.
