I am a student in college and the founder of Hope Inside Love. Hope Inside Love is a movement that empowers the world to make change around mental health. Also, I am a photographer that takes pictures generally around the city. I am currently doing a series #povertyinbaltimore. I'm looking to expand that project and my photography skills.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

It's cool to be apart of a community that allows travel.

I am interested in books, good people, indie films, indie music, and just about anything that involves mistreatment of people.

Music, Movies, and Books

My favorite music is indie acoustic style stuff. Like Joe Brooks, Tyrone Wells, Jack Johnson, and Ron Pope. I'm a big fan of Switchfoot as well.

My favorite films are probably I origins and Another Earth. I love Mike Cahill and Brit Marling. They are fantastic writers and Brit Marling is a great actress.

My favorite books are written by Donald Miller (A Million Miles in A Thousand Years and Blue Like Jazz). I really like stuff written by Thich Nhat Hanh as well.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I started a movement that helps people who struggle with mental health. It has around 8,000+ followers across all social media platforms. We've helped connect people to resources and let people know it's okay to struggle with mental illness.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I can tell stories from things I've seen in Baltimore. Also, I can share experiences I've had from life. I have plenty of stories and pictures of my adorable cat.
