CURRENT MISSION

Ever better.

ABOUT ME

I am a former newborn specialist who recently moved to Ann Arbor, MI to pursue graduate work in Social Work after 7 years of living in Chicago, IL. I lived in Romania for a year, and developed a passion for international travel and cultural exchange.
I am a pretty independent person, but I love having the opportunity to meet new people in new places.

PHILOSOPHY

Becoming ever better.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I survived a plane crash over the city of Budapest... ask me about my crazy travel stories. There are many :)

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm a former English teacher, and I'm always happy to engage in conversation or offer tutoring. I enjoy making meaningful connections. As a single woman who travels mostly alone, I really love meeting people with whom I can forge the sort of relationships that continue long after travel!

What I Can Share with Hosts

I'm friendly, quiet, respectful, engaging, and a great conversationalist. Not a party-type, and I'm very clean. I love sharing stories and hearing them from others. I'm also a decent cook, awesome with little kiddos, and happy to help out around the house!
