First and foremost, I am fuelled by curiosity with an unwavering passion and draw to strange corners of the earth. Travel through many African and Asian countries with little resource has given me a deep understanding of life beyond comfortable circumstance and my own privilege; it is an understanding that lead me towards academic research. Postgraduate scientific experience focussed on the understanding of public health and immunology of communicable diseases on the African continent. Passion for outdoors and adventure lead me to part time and eventually full time work in the rock climbing industry in a managerial capacity, working for a climbing and fitness center. Experience in both academia and the service industry have garnered me with unique and versatile insight into managing multiple personalities simultaneously.
