A recent Marine & Freshwater Biology graduate (BSc) from the University of Guelph (ON, Canada. Born and raised in Toronto). Young in (part Asian) looks, old(er) at heart. 🇨🇦 Besides being a science nerd, I do some other cool things: -Ride a motorbike (see road trip plans below) -Brazilian jui jitsu practitioner -Bboy (‘breakdance’ for the laymen) -Climbing; walls, buildings, playground structures -Diver (PADI Rescue, some science-y stuff too) -Inspiring all the childrens about marine sciences -Shark wrangler (ethically, for science) -Boat captain (Toronto Harbour Water Taxi) -Crass and shameless senses of humour, including impromptu public embarrassment upon demand -Smiles for all :) I am currently partaking in the second (1st was ON to FL to LA to BC) half of a Two-Part motorcycle road-trip from Vancouver Island, BC to Toronto, ON; requiring meeting as many weird, whacky, cool adventure-travellers as I can along the way! Some background info: I just finished a 4-month seasonal contract as a Marine Science Educator at the Bamfield Marine Sciences Centre, am now headed home to Toronto for the summer and seeing where the journey take me along the way. Cheers! (If you haven’t noticed, I also really overuse parentheses) P.S. Sorry there is no formatting allowed here, I’m sure that just made this whole thing confusing to read.
