When I'm not working on my teaching degree at Missouri State University, I am a freelance special effects makeup artist for film.

I'm taking a break from film this summer to teach and live in Italy! I enjoy the simple things in life, tend to be very laid back, and much prefer the country to big cities. I have learned growing up in the rural Midwestern United States that a bit of hospitality can go a long way, so I look forward to having a positive Couchsurfing experience with you!

Any other questions? Just ask!
