Southern California native, I moved to Washington DC in 2012 after graduating from UCLA. My biggest regret in college is not studying abroad! However, I have enjoyed summer vacations to Europe, China and Hong Kong, yet to go to South America or Africa (both are high on my list).

While not at work I can be found biking, playing tennis, cooking or even exploring the local jazz and music culture of DC. I have enjoyed exploring the city, eating the amazing food, and experiencing the different seasons.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love meeting new people, learning new perspectives and exploring new places. And it's always much better to get a local's recommendation and tips of places to explore in a new city--whether it's where to have a cup of coffee or go out to a local bar.
