Ask me about my dream to live and work in Antarctica!

Boulder, Colorado, United States

About

I am passionate about the outdoors and being a steward for our beautiful lands. I graduated college in the heat of the pandemic and started looking for a job that would allow me to work in hiking boots every day. While finishing a degree in psychology, I studied well-being in relation to time spent in nature. I believe that the positive impact nature has on our well-being is being recognized by modern society more and more. It comes at a crucial time when our climate crisis is at an all time high. That is why my next endeavor is to work in Antarctica. I want to support the science initiatives in the most remote desert on our planet in hopes of learning more about our world's climate change while also having a positive impact! #AntarcticaBound #thereisnoPlanetB
