I'm a theatre PhD student at the University of Missouri, specializing in Theatre for Social Justice and Theatre in Health Education. I'm a bit of an adventurer, though that has slowed down a little as grad school tries to suck the soul from my body (and the travel funds from my wallet). I'm from Ohio, but I've lived in Texas, Mississippi, Kentucky, and Missouri.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I want to start adventuring again while I'm still single and free to go wherever whenever. I also enjoy meeting new people and creating community in whatever form it comes, even across distance.

I've also spent a lot of time in host homes as I traipsed across the country touring with theatrical productions, so I'm happy to return the favor.
