Overview
About Me
Film buff, poker head, feminist, fan of good gin+tonic.
I voluntarily studied organic chemistry throughout college and went to graduate school to do more organic chemistry, only to realize I hated grad school. So I decided to leave the program, sat down and thought about what I wanted to do, and decided to go to law school. During that time I supported myself more or less entirely through playing poker.
I love learning in the broadest sense! I took 17 MOOCs (Coursera, EdX, etc) in addition to alllllllll the schooling I went through. My favorite way to learn, however, is through conversations with other people. Each person has their own passion, and it is incredible how much you can learn from that.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
