Description

Hello!

I just graduated from Colorado State University in the United States where I earned my BA in Political Science and BS in Conservation Biology, with a minor in Entomology. As I study to begin law school in 2025, I am taking some time to reconnect with my favorite things - nature and new experiences!

I have worked as a 'workawayer' at a few locations throughout South America, cleaning in a hostel in San Pedro de Atacama, Chile, living and playing with 2 lovely children in a home outside of Santiago, Chile, and working reception at another hostel in Banos de Agua Santa, Ecuador. WorkAway has presented some amazing opportunities, and I wish I had discovered it sooner, when I was traveling in Europe and backpacking in the US in years prior.

Though I now live in the mountains of Colorado, I am originally from the plains of Kansas, in the US, where I have work experience in animal husbandry, educational outreach, and childcare.

Before beginning school in 2020, I took time to explore the world. Traveling internationally, as well as backpacking within the US. In fact, I finished the Pacific Crest Trail, a 2,650 mile (4265 Km) hiking route from Mexico to Canada along the West coast of the US in 2019! Now, I am excited to learn and explore, and am ready for new adventures again.
