Outside of academics, I’m all about yoga and pilates. I also play piano, guitar, and ukulele and friends would probably describe me as warm, curious, social—and someone who really knows their way around a Mediterranean meal. I’d be thrilled to cook shared dinners and swap recipes.

For me, the perfect house vibe is all about balance—having mutual respect for each other’s personal space while also being open, communicative, and genuinely invested in each other's lives. I love homes where people feel comfortable hanging out in the kitchen for a long chat, going out together occasionally, or just checking in with each other. I also think it’s really special when housemates take time to make the space feel good for everyone—whether that’s decorating together, lighting a few candles, or creating a little backyard oasis. Respect, honesty, and shared laughs are the foundation of a happy home in my book.

I’m a tidy and respectful housemate who genuinely values keeping shared spaces clean and cozy – I’ve had a few tough experiences with past roommates where I ended up doing most of the cleaning, and it got a bit stressful. So having a clean, well-kept space is super important to me – especially in shared areas like the kitchen and living room.
