I am a Master's student studying Conservation and Biodiversity at the University of Exeter, Cornwall Campus. I am from the US - I grew up in Philadelphia and I received my undergraduate degree studying psychology and French from Bates College in Maine. My favorite thing in the world is traveling. Other hobbies include football (the soccer kind), squash, biking and hiking. I have also tried my hand at surfing and climbing while in Cornwall and love both.
