I am a 24 year-old PhD student studying the ecology and evolution of butterflies and moths. I love reading and spending time outside in my hammock or walking, hiking or biking. I love to cook and host friends for dinner in my apartment in Boston.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I am doing a 3-month research internship in Switzerland and I'm hoping to explore Europe and meet locals while I'm here!

Music, Movies, and Books

I most recently finished North Woods, which is a lovely story about the history of the landscape in western Massachusetts, near where I go to school. In general, I really love post-war and meta-fiction: Borges, Vonnegut, Calvino. I like classic and indie rock, hip-hop, classic and indie folk, and some R&B.
