About Me

I love nature. I care about issues regarding inclusivity. It is easy to live in a bubble and to be told what to think. It is hard to try and understand the truth, or take the time and energy to get invested in other people's stories, but I do believe that you emerge a better and smart person as a result of taking that time.
