More About Me!
What makes you feel your deepest connection to the environment? Experiencing different environments lets me feel connected to them. It's a symphony of sensory experiences, a connection with the land's spirit, and a commitment to preserving and sharing the profound history that dwells within every whispering tree, and every drop of water in the landscapes I am fortunate to be a part of.
How has your relationship with the environment or another species shaped who you are/what you do today? The different environments we encounter influence our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Simultaneously, we, as individuals, possess the power to shape the environments in which we dwell, setting in motion a transformative cycle in which these environments, in turn, mold us once more. By recognizing our role in this intricate relationship, we bear a collective responsibility to foster environments that nurture not only our physical and mental health but also contribute positively to the sustainability and flourishing of our global ecosystem.
