About Me

CURRENT MISSION

Meet new people and pass on the generosity :)

ABOUT ME

I am a very impressive "bad dancer", a very unimpressive flute player, and a nerdy ecology student! I've lived at the foot of the Dandenong Ranges (an hour from Melbourne) for practically my whole life and I love it. Driving up to the coffee shops in the forest behind our house is one of my favourite things. I've worked all over Australia as a geologist and turned studies into an adventure by doing my masters in the UK. Now I'm completing my PhD in the very lovely, if a little hot, Brisbane, Queensland.

PHILOSOPHY

You always get to go home at the end of the day.
