About Me

I graduated from an odd little arts and science program at McMaster University a couple years ago where I studied epidemics, music psychology, law, and anything else that piqued my interest. Since then I've lived in Toronto and worked in design and non-partisan roles around elections. I'm keen on making Canadian politics more nuanced and accessible. Later this year, I'll be working with some hella smart high school students and doing some research at Parliament in Ottawa.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I was introduced to Couchsurfing while living in Wellington, and have had a great time hosting since.

Interests

I dig hiking, theatre, reading the news, visiting new places, chats over pints, math, board games, and politics.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music: A lot of Alt Rock, Indie, Fusion, Folk and various random bits of Canadiana. Dan Mangan, Hey Rosetta!, Cold Specks, Rich Aucoin are some of my favourite Canadian artists, if you'd like, I'd be happy to introduce you. Chances are, no matter what you're into, I'll appreciate it too.
Books: I love reading, but I primarily pursue non-fiction/short stories/articles. I like things I can digest quickly.
TV: Arrested Development, 30 Rock, Last Week Tonight, Black Mirror,
