Gerard - $1,200/month

I’m originally from from the Philippines, but I grew up in Iowa and did my Bachelor’s in California. I was a Research Associate in Psychology for the past two years, but I wanted to focus on UX/UI design since it intersects my interests in psychology, technology, art, and design. I am currently a first-year graduate student at Pratt Institute.

I am a bit of both an extrovert and an introvert. I like to chat, but I also like to give people space if they need it. I tend to make fast, easy, healthy meals, but I’m learning to cook more at the moment. On my free time, I like to draw, read, and watch films. I like comedy, horror, anime, animation. I also like cozy and chill video games (like Breath of the Wild or Animal Crossing).

I also like to listen to music through my headphones. I like bossa nova, garage, rap, and pop. Outside I like to hike, go to museums, go out to restaurants, thrift, spend a night out with my friends, and take dance classes. I also would like to try new things (art classes, open-mics, etc.), especially with everything New York City has to offer. I am pet-friendly, lgbtq+ friendly, and 4/20 friendly but I don’t smoke.
