With nearly a decade of experience in design, project management, marketing strategy and creative leadership,
I excel in collaborative development. I have assisted and led key marketing initiatives such as
product launches, branding campaigns, multi-channel promotions, and product sales programs for corporate
brands including Michelin, BMW, Milliken, and Hubbell Lighting. As the co-owner and general manager of
Modal, I have been moonlighting on the creation and development of the South Carolina-based hostel for
nearly 4 years. We developed Modal to highlight local artists and attract a mixture of professional musicians,
creatives, and performers. We would love to have you stay!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm a huge proponent of social engagement through travel. I thrive off of meeting new people and learning from every experience. I started working on creating my own place to host guests from all over the world and now that we're open, I'm excited to welcome travelers to visit my hostel.

Music, Movies, and Books

I love all music - but mostly enjoy indie, local, folk, throwback, or French pop. I don't have a strong opinion on music in general. I only watch movies or TV because my partner enjoys it. The last book I actually read in hard copy format was "Call Me By Your Name." Most reading I now do is through Audible.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I worked for four years to open the first hostel in Greenville, SC - the 2nd in the entire state of Sout Carolina.

Teach, Learn, Share

I have a vast background in marketing & communications. Including experience with agencies and corporations, my career took me to a lot of different places as well as taught me a random pile of information.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm happy to share anything from my personal experiences.

Countries I’ve Visited
