Where ya from?
I’m from San Diego born and raised in East County, but workamping has
taken me all over California and a few other states in the US.
What do you like about your job?
I love that I get to spend my days outside instead of working in an office, I get
to feel the sunshine on my skin, and the wind in my hair. Being outside is
super important for me to stay upbeat and motivated in life.
Favorite Food: I have been a vegetarian for the past 6 years so I really am
obsessed with fruits and veggies of any kind, and not to be a stereotypical
Californian, but I love avocados lol, so most things I eat have avocado
included.
Fun Fact: I go to school full-time and work two jobs in order to get my
masters degree and become a counseling psychologist in the next 4 years!
What do you look forward to in the new year? I am looking forward to taking
a mini vacation to the redwoods and going to some concerts in the new year
because I love music and camping. Also summer, because I’m already missing
the ocean
