About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To explore the world, and to find something that I am very passionate about and will contribute to the health of the environment and to people.
I am going to be spending the summer living in Hazelton working for the BC Wildfire Service.

ABOUT ME

I am a 27 year old female, finished my biology degree a few years ago and have been working as a biology research assistant for a few years, in the field of conservation biology. I love outdoor activities and anything nature related. I can be outgoing, but can also be a bit quiet. It depends! I love music, as most people do. I love music jams, especially around a campfire. I am respectful and am interested in learning things about different cultures.

PHILOSOPHY
Karma and compassion
