After quitting my corporate film job, I embarked on a 3 month long journey living and working at different farms throughout Australia and New Zealand. I was in search of a much needed break from focusing too much on work. Since I’d always found comfort and happiness in hiking, surfing, bouldering, and gardening, I decided to fully immerse myself in nature. Besides falling in love with compost toilets, I left with so many cherished gifts - life long friends, a better understanding of myself,  knowledge of sustainability, permaculture, indigenous land history, and a better understanding of how nature and people are wholly and undoubtedly connected. Coming back to LA I imagined I’d be continuing my career in film, but as I search for new opportunities, the only ones that feel exciting and important to me are those related to the environment and sustainability. I am interested in opportunities whose main goal is to love and care for the earth as much as it loves and cares for us. I am pursuing my Environmental Studies and Sustainability Certificate at UCLA this Spring.
