I'm a filmmaker who grew up just outside Washington D.C. In 2013, I moved to Beijing to study Chinese at the Beijing Film Academy for two years. I'm fluent in Mandarin.

I love exploring new cities, hiking, and anything that feels like an adventure. It would be great to meet you.

I can be low-key and low maintenance and quietly do my own thing, but am also up for exploring and staying up late talking :)
