Medical student at Northwestern University in Chicago. Living downtown in Streeterville near the Mag Mile, right next to the lakefront.

Love to travel and explore new places. Worked as a camp counselor, did accounting at an oriental rug store, worked EMS through COVID (still volunteering when I can), medical assisted in Ridgewood Queens, and volunteered for a year doing mutual aid work in a produce rescue and distribution group called Fair Foods in Boston. Interested in history, trains, urbanism, science, skiing, learning languages, food, karaoke, ukulele, walks, and reading the news.

Music, Movies, and Books

Lofi (lots of studying) star wars, dune, sci fi in general, everything everywhere all at once, parasite, most things by a24, love museums also (Ed Hopper grew up where I did. I was at an exhibit of his work at the Whitney and couldn't find my favorite painting Nighthawks. Woe and behold I was mozying around the Art Institute of Chicago to clear my head before an exam this year and stumbled upon it. Don't ever think that it left Chicago after they acquired it. If you're here I can get us into museums for free.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Monthlong Amtrak trip across the USA. Stayed in hostels and with friends and family. Probably my favorite trip ever.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Can show you my favorite spots around the city, hit up museums/cultural places. How to find deals on groceries, food, museums, flights, credit cards, finance stuff, medicine, etc.
