About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Tell stories and dance. Adventure's out there!

ABOUT ME

I am in graduate school studying acting at CalArts. I love Shakespeare and Ibsen. I enjoy writing and I love to dance (modern and interpretive, although I yearn to learn to swing and tap). I love exploring new cities and finding local gems (coffee shops, restaurants, microbrew, etc.). What else... I'm a southern California kid that loves the beach.

PHILOSOPHY

I am all about seeking out and enjoying the tiniest moments in life that most people overlook.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

I am interested in meeting new people and learning about their culture, lifestyles and perpectives of the world. I would love to host, but my school schedule doesn't allow it. I'm down for coffee or LA adventure's in the summer though.

COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE

I surfed couches in New Haven when I was applying/auditioning for grad school. I had an incredible experience!

Interests

I am interested in acting, baseball, being outside, going to the beach, dancing. I recently got my first tattoo and will probably get a couple more- i love tattoo culture. I enjoy going to museums and trying anything new. I love trying local restaurants and trying local beer. I also love love coffee.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I participated in the African Dance Ensemble at CalArts and learned several Ghana dances. It was amazing to move in a way so unlike my natural patterns; completely liberating!

Teach, Learn, Share

I have much to offer in the realm of Shakespeare and acting. I love to converse about all forms of art. I am an expert at having the perfect beach day. I have ears to hear.
