I am a recent college graduate from the University of Iowa. I got my B.B.A. with a focus in marketing there as well as a Certificate of Sustainability and a Minor in Dance. Currently, I am traveling for five months to Iceland, Norway, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand, and Hawaii with my friend Peder. During our trip we are working on organic farms through WWOOF (Worldwide Opportunities on Organic Farms). While we are working and traveling we will also be filming a documentary about organic farming, sustainability, and culture.
