Hobbies
I love water chemistry, and when I am not volunteering for local water quality control agencies, I am tending my planted aquariums at home and playing a Chinese harp called a "zither". I love roller blading and hiking every weekend, rain or shine, in the Pacific Northwest! I really enjoy being a part of my community and spend much of my time volunteering for local organizations like the Humane Society, the Food Bank, and abroad too! I like spending my winters in Mazatlan, Mexico putting together after-school workshops and sports activities for children ages 3-12. My special interests are; English writing and reading, as well as Human and Environmental Geography. This includes physical sciences like; geology and hydrology; and social sciences like; anthropology, sociology, ecology, and language. I spent the last two years teaching and studying Mandarin, Chinese in Southern China (a city called Shenzhen, just north of Hong Kong). Next fall I will be beginning my MSc in Anthropology in South Africa.
