About

I am currently working to merge my 10 years of experience in the marine animal field with my recent master's degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. My goal is to merge these two disciplines to help people build a deeper connection with the natural world and promote environmental conservation through mental health and therapeutic practices.
