In the past, I’ve spent four exciting years in the UK, where I studied palaeontology and got to explore South and Central England and Wales—it was a mix of science and adventure that I really loved. On top of that, I’ve been practicing archery since I was 14, so my free time has often been split between fossils and target practice!

At the moment, I’m working on my PhD in palaeobotany, which keeps me busy diving into the world of ancient plants. Outside the lab, I try to travel as much as possible, share my passion for science with others, and give back to my community through volunteering.

I love all animals (dogs and horses a bit more) cheese and fruit platters, and adventures that get my adrenaline pumping!

I travel because the world never stops amazing me! Every forest, mountain, and coastline has its own surprises. I want to soak up as much of this exciting planet as I can and learn from the incredible people I meet along the way. Every trip feels like a new adventure!
