Hey!

I just graduated high school this year (2019), and am now on a gap year. I will attend Mount Holyoke College in 2020.

I'm looking for new experiences before college! I'm responsible, hardworking, and I love learning.

School, swimming, and working have been my life for the past four years.

I was a member of my high school's Girls Swim and Dive Team and swam club off season. I worked at my school's swim company, Learn to Swim, where I taught children ages 3 - 12 to swim. I also was a part of the supervising and managing team for the company.

I'm Lifeguard, CPR, AED, and First Aid certified. I've worked as a lifeguard at my local YMCA for a few years and still work as a seasonal guard. School has always been a top priority for me. I'm a straight A student and have taken many AP level courses.

Hopefully this shows my values and attributes!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I'm traveling around Europe for a few months! I've been in London for a little over a month, and would like to continue traveling. However, I need to work on saving money. This website seems like a great way to do so!

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I, along with another employee, re-created our company's teaching curriculum. Months of hard work resulted in a huge change in the way our company ran, and our boss couldn't have been more happy and proud!

I've also been travelling solo this year, which I find exciting and daunting at the same time!
