Summary

Presently, I am an Environmental Management student at Okanagan College. I enjoy spending my time mountain biking, hiking, camping, and front/backcountry skiing. Additionally, I am an avid organic gardener and enthusiast of all things that sprout up from dirt! Recently, my focus has been exploring the art of composting and companion planting. My goal is to have a career where I work in nature making a positive impact on the environment and I am eager to apply my knowledge to real-world work experience.
