About Me

Born and raised in the great Pacific Northwest in the greater Seattle area. Growing up, I've had family in many different corners of the world and always had a fancy for traveling!

Experienced a life-changing year long exchange to Germany in 2010-2011, which has led me to many wonderful life-long friends and journeys.

Recently backpacked around Europe for three months visiting friends and family in the Fall of 2014

Currently working as a freelance live sound and recording engineer as well as working at Float Seattle, a sensory deprivation float tank center in Seattle. I'm an avid lover of music, I have been producing music and DJing for a few years now and I am totally addicted to exploring different flavors of music from all across the globe.

As with traveling and couchsurfing, I am a firm believer that music can be a beneficial method of bringing people together to promote positive change and improve our global community!

Techno enthusiast, Europhile, Tree-Hugger, Beach-Bum, Travel-Junkie!

Live life to the fullest, eat well, and travel often!
