ABOUT ME
I'm an artist that, though currently living in California, considers NYC my true home. My art is eclectic - I could be making pen drawings one day, interactive video sculptures the next. I am never, ever without a sharpie.
I'm in grad school pursuing a combined MFA in Interactive Media and Experimental Animation, which usually prompts the response "cool! What does that mean?" Good question - hopefully by the time I graduate in three years, I'll have figured it out.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING
Surfing when traveling - I'd love to host, but my living situation just isn't amenable to it right now. Some day...
COUCHSURFING EXPERIENCE
I spent a few months living in Berlin, and couchsurfed when I first got there, until I found a place and got my bearings. I continued to meet lovely couchsurfing folk all throughout my stay there, even though I wasn't officially surfing anymore.
Interests
Visual Art (in all its sundry forms), film, music (live, recorded, or on repeat in my head), eating too much, cooking, SCUBA/snorkling, architecture, running, dancing (both watching and doing), biking, reading

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done
As part of a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity, I biked across the USA - from New Haven, CT to San Francisco, CA. Simultaneously the best and worst thing I've ever done. Would love to do more long bike trips - preferably, next time without the luxury of a support van.
Teach, Learn, Share
I pay my bills by teaching people how to do really well on standardized tests, so if you need to get into graduate or business school in the States, I can give you a leg up. I've also taught drawing, which I still feel is the only thing in this world I REALLY know how to do. I'm always, always willing to share a good recipe.
