I'm a student musician, 23 years old. So far in life I've learned to be always curious, hungry, and as open as I can let myself be. As a work in progress, still growing, I am always searching for meaningful connection in life and in art.

PS I really did grow up in a place called Home, PA! It's not a trick!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm about to take a gap year to work, get better at playing the clarinet, and apply to graduate programs for more school. One of my goals for this year is to get out there and do more traveling! I have always wanted to go places but felt constrained by my school/work schedule and finances. Now that I have time to make time for it, I want to get off of my couch and spend a night on yours! Domestic travel within the US is where I'll start - who knows what will come later!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I don't think I've done one singular amazing thing, but hopefully a lot of little ones along the way, like baking a batch of chocolate chip cookies that are to die for or being a great friend to someone who needs it.
