HI! I grew up in the south suburbs of Chicago and spent three years obtaining my bachelor's in allied health medical science in Tampa, FL. Currently working as an ophthalmic technician, primarily with glaucoma and cornea/external disease, and am looking to become a physician assistant or nurse practitioner. I moved back in with my family prior to grad school, which is why I'm not currently accepting guests.

Similar to the majority of people on here, I love traveling, exploring new places, meeting new people, and learning. A few of my interests include music, hiking, hot yoga, reading, cooking/dining, museums, and going out to new bars. I also enjoy music festivals; this year I attended Bonnaroo (Tennessee) and The Hangout (Alabama.)

我为什么加入 Couchsurfing

Interested in more affordable options to stay when traveling. This also provides the opportunity to meet more locals/immerse myself more entirely in a new place!

音乐、电影和书籍

Books:
Being Mortal (Gawande)
When Breathe Becomes Air (Kalanithi)
The Catcher in the Rye (Salinger)
Anything by Kurt Vonnegut, Jody Picoult, or Jon Krakauer

Music: I love a wide variety; only genre I'm not crazy about is heavy metal.

我做过的一件不可思议的事情

I cannot think of anything specifically amazing that I've done...but I believe that working in oncology and being able to provide people comfort in their final days were some of my better moments. I spent one of my Thanksgiving breaks in college in Immokalee, FL cooking meals for migrant workers and volunteering with orphans, which was another pretty amazing/eye-opening experience.

教，学，和分享

I really want to learn Spanish.
