About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To learn, grow, and be helpful to my community. To enjoy life. To Live and die without regret.

ABOUT ME

I am a naturalist/biologist who loves all things nature. My passions include animal behavior, tracking wildlife, art of all kinds, crochet, scuba diving, primitive skills, backpacking, dancing, music, cooking, etc. I am a friendly laid back person. I like wandering and exploring. I am organized and clean. I am more interested in experiencing where I am in whatever way that unfolds, rather than checking off tourist destinations and scrambling from one place to another.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have done wildlife rehab, tree climbing, survival trips, worked with the Buffalo field campaign in MT, gotten my permaculture certification, traveled to Cambodia, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Alaska, and England, recovered from Cancer, volunteered with search and rescue, and more. I have learned from all of these experiences, but ultimately life is not about what you have done or seen, but who you are and the relationships you build with others.

Teach, Learn, Share

Some things I could teach:

Crochet
Sign Language

Tracking
