About this person
Hi! I'm moving from California, to stay for at least a year in Australia. I've been hoping to move to Melbourne for years now, so I'm keen to arrive and meet new people. I'm a research neuroscientist, and have lived in a variety of different places around the world. I lived in Wales, UK for one year while completing my masters degree, and lived in Belgium for 4 years during my PhD. I'm queer and non-binary, and use they/them pronouns. I love animals and nature, and like to get involved in community building activities when possible.
Important personal qualities
Good communication is super important to me, so being upfront with needs and any issues that arise is a really key factor. Generally I am very amicable and friendly, but I do also need my own space to rest and recover. As a housemate, I am respectful of other people's space and time, and appreciate that sentiment reflected back to me. I'm somewhat more of an introvert, since I recover my energy by being alone usually, but I definitely like to socialize and party at times. I'm quite cleanly, so I would prefer to live in an environment where people are mindful of their impact on communal spaces and take care of their own messes.
Food sharing and furniture
I have food sensitivities to eggs and gluten, so I'll likely keep my food separate, but I do like having communal meals sometimes. I'll be moving to Melbourne with just a few bags, so I wont have any furniture to contribute.
