About Me

CURRENT MISSION

To see the world and its many people, animals, ecosystems, and cultures!

ABOUT ME

I would like to think of myself as an outgoing, adventurous individual looking to make some life-long friends and memories! Also, I currently wrapping up my MS in Forestry at Mississippi State University. I'm interested in conservation and marine biology, which has driven my to start a nonprofit with my boyfriend for conservation education and stewardship! Check it out: www.conserVANtion.org
