ABOUT ME

I am 22 years old, and live in Whistler, BC. After graduating from UBC Vancouver I decided to spend a year in a mountain town, riding my bike and skiing as much as I can. Luckily, I managed to find employment I was passionate about, and now work for the Municipality as a youth services librarian and program leader, as well as for a local nonprofit called Zero Ceiling that gets at-risk youth involved in employment and housing programs in Whistler. I've lived and travelled lots in Europe and East Africa, and am excited to journey to Central America in January 2015 with my boyfriend Max.

PHILOSOPHY

"I cried because I had no shoes, until I met a man with no feet."
