About Me

I am in the process of joining the ranks of the temporarily unemployed in effort to live a part of my dreams and hopefully change careers in the process! I'm in the process of downsizing so I can travel.

Currently a case manager until May 2015-ish, I also DJ, phlebotomize people on a voluntary basis, read and collect comics, and play Words with Friends.

I intend on growing myself in the way of the comic book artist/creator

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Mostly because I only need to stay in San Diego for one month!! I am exploring the ways that I can do that before I leave for SD!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Went on a road trip by answering an ad on college campus.

Teach, Learn, Share

Teach? See below.

Learn: I'm open to learning anything, especially about composting, using a sewing machine to make clothes and costumes(recycle, etc.), learning a language (for a month), how to survive in San Diego for one month (eh heh)

Share: Anything that you want, so long as it means something to you and/or gives an opportunity for growth.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experience in undergraduate and graduate school, as well as phlebotomy school. My books (of course name the ones you are interested in before I ship them elsewhere), The Code, Basic Feng Shui, resume/CV tips, my Words with Friends username,

A little rusty on teaching unless:
You need to find resources for something (I'm good at researching)
You want to learn about critical thinking
You want to learn motivational interviewing techniques
You want to learn about phlebotomy and how to draw blood from an arm
