About Me

I am currently an accelerated nursing student at VCU. My nursing degree will be my second degree - I already have a bachelor's degree from Virginia Tech. I can't host anyone right now (I have a few roommates), but I am completely down to show you around the city of Richmond!

I'm a fun and upbeat individual who loves good conversation. I also LOVE basketball, enjoy football, soccer, track and field, and just about any other sport. I also used to be the HokieBird mascot at Virginia Tech.

Music, Movies, and Books

I really like Indie Rock/Folk Rock/Folk music (think Hozier, Houndmouth, Mumford and Sons, Coldplay, Lord Huron, etc). Something about it just makes my heart happy.

I'm a sucker for superhero and Disney movies. Expected, yes, but they're just so, so good.

My favorite book is a kids book by the name of Prince William. It's about a seal that gets picked up by a young girl in Prince William Sound after the oil spill that happened there in 1989.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I climbed a 100ft observation tower in the Amazon to watch the sunset. There wasn't any working safety equipment, and the tower was very narrow (you climbed on the outside of it, like a very skinny ladder). Probably the scariest thing I've done, but seeing above the canopy made it worth it.
