I've always loved travel and spending time in the great outdoors. So when I had to make the choice of where to head for university, out west towards mountains and ocean was the obvious decision. Since moving to B.C. from Ontario, I’ve become even more enamoured with all the outdoors has to offer and have ended up working the 9-5 in pursuit of protecting BC’s wilderness as an employee of a rad environmental NGO.
