  • Description

    Hi! I’m Kara, a nature-loving adventurer with a background in environmental sustainability. After several years in a corporate career helping companies reduce their environmental impact, I’ve decided to step out from behind the desk and reconnect more directly with the natural world.

    I’m passionate about marine conservation, ecological restoration, and anything that involves being outdoors—whether it’s working on coastal projects, hiking through remote landscapes, or getting my hands dirty planting trees.

    Now, I’m seeking hands-on experiences that contribute positively to people and our planet. I bring with me:

    - PADI Rescue Diver and Emergency First Aid Responder certification

    - Level 2 Powerboat license

    - VHF Radio Controller certification

    - A strong understanding of sustainability, climate action, and ecosystems

    - A deep respect for local cultures and community-based environmental work

    - A positive, can-do attitude and love for meaningful hard work

    Whether it’s helping with conservation initiatives, eco-tourism, or community-based projects - I’m in!
