I am a born and raised Southern Californian. I graduated from Arizona State University with a degree in Nutrition (Dietetics) and a certificate in Food Systems Sustainability through the Barrett Honors College. After graduating, I moved back home to SoCal where I work as a Nutrition Investigator working on Nutrition Research for Amway’s Nutritional Product line called Nutrilite.

I am a 7 on the Enneagram, “The Enthusiast,” which means I am excitable, spontaneous, curious, optimistic, eager, outgoing, future-oriented, adventurous, variety-seeking, quick, and talkative.

I am a born again Christian. I surrendered my life in my Junior year of High School and have had a bumpy but amazing road in my faith ever since! My dream is to be in a Christian Worship Band like Bethel Music, where we produce music that helps people connect to Jesus in an authentic, deep and radical way! I volunteer a lot at my church, specifically with the Worship Music Team and the Junior High Ministry.

I’ve been growing in this dream/passion over the past year, going out and playing at small gigs, singing the National Anthem at small sports venues, and have been creating/producing my own music and collaborating with other musicians all over the world through social media!

I love being active! Whether it’s hiking in nature, running along the beach, dancing country two step, or working out in the gym - I have such a passion for being fit and healthy. I grew up playing high level competitive soccer, which has had a major impact on my love for fitness. I am currently working towards getting certified to be a fitness instructor and nutrition coach. My heart behind that is to support people on their journey in discovering what healthy lifestyle works for them. I don’t believe there is a “one-size-fits-all.” I want to help people have a positive and successful health journey that adapts to their current lifestyle.

I also grew up with lots of pets and raising livestock animals. People in SoCal and across the USA can be so disconnected from their food - this is part of the reason why I got the degrees I have. Food Waste and Food Insecurity are health crises that I want to continue to be a part of in helping implement systems/processes to eliminate these from existing!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

My friends and I are going to Nashville in March and thought this would be a fun way to see the city, meet new people, and be cost effective.

Music, Movies, and Books

I like Contemporary Christian Music, Disney (except High School Musical), Old Jazz, Big Band Swing, 60s/70s/80s, Classic Rock, and some Rap.

I love anything Disney/Pixar, How to Train a Dragon series, The Truman Show, Monte Python and the Holy Grail, Top Gun, any of the Marvel movies, anything like On Golden Pond that gives me the feels and/or can get me to weep hysterically (I know, so weird). Like, recently I just watched for the first time Shadowlands - WOW! 😭💕

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Me and a group of students at ASU opened a food pantry program across all 5 ASU campuses to support students who may be struggling with food insecurity.

Another amazing thing I’ve gotten to do is take a road trip for 3 weeks across the Western US states (AZ, UT, CO, WY, MT, WA, OR, CA) by myself in my car - life changing!
