CURRENT MISSION

Opera Singer Traveling to International Auditions

ABOUT ME

I am an incoming graduate student to the University of Arkansas at Little Rock, where I will be studying both Opera Performance and Sports Science? How does that work? Ask me!

I am a trail runner always looking to explore new parks and pathways.

I enjoy cooking very much, I am particularly fond of creating decedent, but healthy foods. Though I adhere to no strict diet per se, I have fun exploring gluten-free, paleo, vegetarian, or vegan recipes.

I enjoy music of all kinds, and especially savor live performance. While I lean towards classical and opera, I am not one to ever pass up tickets to a Kanye performance, should they come my way.

PHILOSOPHY

Do not live today hoping in vain for a better tomorrow. Act now.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I love engaging with others and sharing ideas, interests, music, and recipes! I hope that through my travels I am always able to better myself and inspire others.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I created a profile on this site when planning a trip to Western Europe in 2008, but never actually engaged in any surfing or hosting. I've decided that this network is simply too great a project for me to neglect, and I want to become an active part of this amazing community!
