Nature
I grew up visiting farms, taking long country walks, and riding horses whenever I could. I’m deeply interested in the effects of nature on our psychology, from TCM’s ‘five seasons’ to the neuroscience behind human–animal interaction.
Reading Bill Plotkin’s Nature and the Human Soul and hand-feeding Bactrian camels at the zoo inspired me to find ways to re-center nature. This year (2025) I’m looking into opportunities to do WWOOF volunteering.
WILDYA
Last year I was a community architect, product strategist, and web marketer for Wildya, an online platform empowering people to build a wilder world.
SNOW LEOPARDS
In August 2024 I joined a snow leopard conservation expedition in Kyrgyzstan. We tracked and observed the elusive ‘ghost of the mountains’ through the Tien Shan range, where their status and distribution remain relatively unknown.
