Description

HI there! I’m a post-undergraduate student exploring the world before I go on to graduate school. I’ve studied abroad in Ecuador, done a semester in Alaska and am now on a working holiday in New Zealand. I love the outdoors, and especially the ocean. I studied conservation biology, environmental science, and marine mammal biology in university and would like to study marine biology further in the future. Show me a tide pool or a school of fish and I will be entertained for hours. I also love working outside with my hands, a good cup of coffee, cats, biking, theater, and martial arts! I am proficient in Spanish and am trying to learn Japanese as well. I love learning about new places and cultures and ecologies - learning itself is my favorite thing of all. That, and a good sunset.

More details about your skills

I’ve done a lot of field work and am comfortable working outside in any weather. Apart from that, I’ve worked in hospitality for three years. I’ve done reception work, housekeeping, and barista jobs. I’m more than willing to use any of those skills, and learn more. I’ve had jobs pet sitting and babysitting throughout my life, and I love to spend an afternoon gardening. I’m not afraid to learn and ask questions about tasks I haven’t done before, and I’m not afraid of trying!

What else ...

I really love photography, game nights, and talking about science - so any days involving those will make me happy.
