About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To make life one continuous adventure.

ABOUT ME

I currently reside in the lovely state of Hawaii, on the Big Island. Kona region, to be a little more precise. I'm a soil science intern on an organic natural process farm, where I get to practice and learn from some of the most knowledgeable agronomists around. The people I work with are fantastic, but I'm always up for meeting new people. Especially since I moved here not too long ago.

PHILOSOPHY

Enjoy every aspect of life. Every single, solitary smidge of it.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Backpacking through Europe for 4 weeks was the experience of a lifetime. Different countries, different cultures, and so many different people. Definitely broadened my worldview. One of the most amazing experiences of my life so far, for sure.

Sky diving is up there in the ranks as well. Who voluntary jumps out of an airplane 3 times? Crazy people.

You see amazing things every day when you work at a wildlife refuge. Not to mention the stories you obtain when you work with everything from baby possums to fiesty ring-tailed lemurs.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm really good at getting lost in large cities, so I can definitely teach you how to do that. hahah.
