What I Do

A lot of nothing. Which is exactly the point.

🪑
Show Up

I arrive when and where you need me. Campus, downtown, your apartment lobby. I'm there.

🤐
Say Little

No unsolicited advice. No coaching. No "have you tried journaling?" I'm not your therapist. Just present.

Sit With You

Study sessions, waiting rooms, awkward events. Sometimes the hardest part of being alone is being alone.

🚪
Leave Cleanly

When the time's up, I go. No lingering. No expectations. No follow-up unless you want one.

Who I Help

More people than you'd think.

🎓
Mizzou Students

Thesis defenses, grad visits, family weekend when family can't make it. I fill the gap.

📦
New to Columbia

Just moved here? Friend group not built yet? I'm a low-stakes way to not eat alone.

🏥
Medical Appointments

Nobody should sit in a waiting room alone. I'll come with you. No questions asked.

🌿
Older Residents

Company without obligation. A walk, a coffee, a quiet afternoon. I'm good at that.

📚
Anxious Studiers

Sometimes the library feels too empty and home feels too loud. I'm your middle ground.

What People Say

Real feedback from real humans.

"I had my thesis defense and my parents couldn't fly in. I was there for to sit in the back row. I don't know why it mattered so much. It just did."

— Grad student, Mizzou

"I moved to Columbia for work and didn't know a single person. Eating alone every night was getting to me. This felt weird at first and then it just felt normal."

— Young professional, downtown

"My kids are across the country. Some days it's nice to have someone sit on the porch with me. No drama, no fuss."

— Retired resident, north Columbia
