I grew up in Western Massachusetts but have spent much of my recent years in the Hartford, CT area. I am a young professional working in environmental consulting at a firm in Middletown, CT. I am very laid back, but enjoy socializing and having fun!

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

Every time I meet someone new, I carry a tiny piece of them everywhere I go. It is the people who inspire me to do good and be good.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

During the Summer of 2017, I had the opportunity to work with The Trustees of Reservations; a non-profit land conservation and historic preservation organization dedicated to preserving natural and historical places in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. (http://www.thetrustees.org/)

I assisted the West Management Unit Superintendent with the varied job of managing eleven properties in the unit. Ideally, maintaining property grounds, trail maintenance, brush and invasive plant trimming, weeding, etc.

This type of work was physically demanding but ultimately rewarding.

What I Can Share with Hosts

I LOVE to clean. I find it very therapeutic and it helps me get through each day with ease.

Good conversation is an absolute must.
