ABOUT ME

A nerd who loves the outdoors. Generally outgoing (very), and loves trying new things. I thrive on human contact, and enjoy debating topics with others.

PHILOSOPHY

“It had flaws, but what does that matter when it comes to matters of the heart? We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.”
Patrick Rothfuss

Interests

I love to cook, and play rugby. When not doing either of those, you would probably find me reading a book outside, or playing video games. While at school, I rock climb nearly every day, and study psychology. I have interests in all the sciences (Physics, Chemistry, and Biology), and I love learning new things.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I took part in a national culinary competition. My team won the Maryland Prostart Invitational, and went on to place 7th in the nation!

Teach, Learn, Share

I would love to trade any knowledge I have in return for learning new skills, or just because I believe in teaching what you know! I can share my culinary expertise, as I have been a chef for 8 years, and a random myriad of other subjects. Feel free to teach me anything you know as well!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I have worked as a chef for years, and will be happy to cook for any family I homestay with!

Countries I’ve Visited

Canada, China, Costa Rica, Israel, Japan, Jordan
