Introduction I am a young zoologist whirling through this crazy world. I have been working in the San Juan Islands as a naturalist since 2001 and it has provided me with experiences that are absolutely invaluable. Being a naturalist has taught me so much about, not only nature (obviously), but the interesting and somewhat obtuse relationships people have with our planet. In addition to living and working in the San Juans, I have also done research on humpback whales in Hawaii, cohabited with gray whales in Mexico, and cared for injured and orphaned wildlife in Alaska. The San Juans are home for now, but there is a great wide world out there and much more to discover. Life is short. Better start living.
Interests All things outside! Nature holds a fascination for me like nothing else. We humans have a very small insight into the workings of the natural world. I believe this is to our detriment, but also to our advantage. It is only a detriment if we don't bother to learn. If we choose to learn and accept, there is no limit to what we can discover.
