Summary

I’m originally from Cairns in Australia, love the outdoors and am passionate about nature & animals as well as networking with people. From my first week here in 2017 I have been volunteering to run events both in person & online through the power of social media in the local Canadian towns I have immersed myself in. Fast forward to 2024 I'm still here, adventuring more than ever and enjoying capturing it along the way. Living in Revelstoke constantly inspires me to be the eco friendly & sustainable adventurer I am, surrounded by like minded people who are constantly striving to do better but never forgetting to have fun along the way. I enjoy challenging myself & really look forward to the opportunity to work with such an incredible team!
