I'm an American girl who lived in Durban for 12 years working in marketing & advertising. My SA residency status is one of my most coveted possessions. I can't seem to keep myself away from the mountains and the bush; it's where my soul comes alive. Every African country I've traveled in holds a special place in my heart; the rawness and wildness fills me with a sense of adventure and possibility.
I love getting dirty! Exploring wide open spaces: the people, light, smells, sounds and beauty gives me a sense of belonging and pride. We all have to do our part to protect and speak for the wildlife that we share this planet with. We owe them that. Helping animals is a passion and a constant in my life. I've been a dog walker for the Humane Society in New York, to most recently spending a few months volunteering at the Thula Thula Rhino Orphanage. That experience has brought me here and I'm so thrilled to be part of this epic and important journey. We can make a difference!
