CURRENT MISSION

"Take this bread if you need it friend, 'cause I'm alright if you're alright"

ABOUT ME

I am a grad student studying mountain lions in Santa Cruz, California. I am all about conservation and am trying to do my part to protect wildlife around the world!

I love learning and adventure! I'm always a customer to have my opinions grow and change and to try new things. I especially love outdoor recreation and getting deep into the wilderness.

PHILOSOPHY

Living, learning, sharing, laughing.
