Description

Hello! I first work-traded on the vibrant and alive land in Hawaii, falling in love with working with, being in relationship with, plants, soil, ecosystems, and the lifestyles of the people I was working alongside.

After working on various permaculture farms for a couple summers, I spent the last year working in the gardens at a permaculture community in Northern California, where I got my certificate in Permaculture Design, and then as a private one gardener and landscaper.

I’m backpacking through South America right now, hoping to learn and contribute on a local level. While here, I am studying Spanish and would love to practice! I’m excited to meet new cultures, ecosystems, plants, and be exposed to knowledge that I can bring home.

I have a remote job working for a university doing psychedelic research to improve people’s mental lives, but what really brings me joy is in getting my hands dirty, working and playing alongside other passionate people trying to make the world a better place.
