I started out my adult life as a health scientist, worked for a few years working at nonprofits and then tech startups. Now, I'm a Story Grid Certified developmental editor which means I help writers craft novels and memoirs that keep readers turning pages.

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

I am traveling the country to find a new place to live and I love meeting locals. While great scenery and interesting architecture can make a place pleasant to look at, people are what turns a place into a home.

教，学，和分享

I’m a fiction book editor. If you’re writing a novel, I’d love to hear about your project.

我可以与沙发主分享些什么

I love to cook and go to farmer's markets. I'm the person that buys mustard greens and knows what to do with them.

I've done a lot of unusual stuff. I've done flashmobs, raced bicycles, taken years of private lessons with one of the nation's best dance teachers, studied nonviolent communication, sold everything I own in order to travel the US, and switched careers multiple times.
