CURRENT MISSION

To get a "real" job that pays enough to cover my rent!

ABOUT ME

I'm an American passionate about saving the world through public health and infectious disease control. I came to London to do a master's degree in infectious disease control and now hoping to find related work.

PHILOSOPHY

I just want to help people in need. More specifically, end extreme poverty and the diseases associated with it.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Had a lovely time surfing with Juliet and her friend, Aaron.
