I grew up in Washington, DC; though, since attending college in Ohio, I have lived in many different places in the US and been fortunate to have had many travel and volunteer experiences outside the US, as well. I am a Board Certified Psychiatric-Mental Health Nurse Practitioner, and have training as a Direct Entry Midwife and as a Doula. Most of my employment experiences since early 2000 have related to health care and health education; but, I'm looking to make a career change, because I am uncomfortable with much about the current psychiatry/pharmacy industry.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm relocating to Minneapolis, MN from Asheville, NC. Looking for places to stay along my long drive, and later hoping to repay the favor to future travelers coming through Minneapolis.

Interests

I'm an avid film buff, and I enjoy card games and boardgames of all types--especially Scrabble and Euchre. I also love bowling, and pretty much any activity involving or near water. I am awesome at most crafty/arty things.
