ABOUT ME
I love everything outdoors and spending time with my amazing friends! Currently, I'm studying environmental science and physics, both of which are really awesome. I'm really interested in sustainable farming (and gardening) and environmental modelling, like glacier hydrology. When I'm not in school, I usually go traveling, hiking, skiing, climbing, canoeing, and biking with my friends. Tea, boardgames, reading, and photography are also huge in my life. I just started learning the ukulele and am hoping to start learning Spanish soon.
PHILOSOPHY
Love and adventure go hand in hand.

Teach, Learn, Share
I love learning about and showing people how to do things the slow and hard way. There is nothing as scary, risky, bold, or rewarding as trying to do something that really challenges you, something you never imagined yourself doing a year ago. It's for these reasons that we value the things we try more than any quantifiable objects. It's for these reasons that I love school, gardening, cooking, and traveling.
