About Me

CURRENT MISSION

I'm a PhD student studying spider monkeys in one of the most beautiful places I' ever been. Life mission: See and experience as much of the world as I possibly can

ABOUT ME

I am easy to get on with and have lots of interests. I like to think of myself as kind, approachable, reliable and trustworthy as well as fun to be around. I love to laugh. I think that laughing enriches our lives.

Interests

I enjoy traveling more than anything. I love seeing new places, tasting the local food, hearing the local languages and learning as much as I can about my surroundings.
I have an increasing interest in nature and an awareness of it and enjoy working outdoors both with animals and on conservation projects- my real passion!
I love yoga and cooking, which is one of the things that I do to relax along with reading when I have the time. And I love to draw and be creative

Music, Movies, and Books

Books: House of the spirits by Isabelle Allende is my all-time favourite. I also love:
"Great Gatsby", "Of Love and Shadows", "The Angels Game", "Shadow of the Wind", "Oh Mexico", "Eat, Pray, Love".....

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I have been very fortunate to have had a life that has been filled with wonderful moments but if I had to pick some memories that stood out they would be: Working in Indonesia and attending many loud and colourful weddings, studying monkeys in Ecuador and living with the wonderful family, volunteering with Soft Power Education in Uganda to help build a school, walking in La Boca neighbourhood in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I loved the colours and the livelihood of this area.
