- What conservation issue is closest to your heart?
- Environmental and Wildlife Conservation.
- What are you hoping to learn from CCC?
- I am expecting to grow as a person, learn through new experiences and share my passion with like-minded people.
- Who/what inspired you to care about conservation?
- I have always loved wildlife and caring for the environment, but this passion grew when I took a natural resources class in university.
- If you could sit down with anyone in the world and have tea or coffee, who would it be? And why?
- Dr. Joe Dispenza. I really admire his way of thinking and how he views the world. I believe his insights on self-care and nature can do a lot for conservation, and that they’re both equally co-dependent and important for having a healthy world.
My Experience So Far
Rocky Mountain Way
Stage 1
For their Stage One adventure, “The Mount10eers” will experience a 14-day hiking/backpacking trip through the Alberta Rocky Mountains. Heading deep into the Rockies, being surrounded by rugged peaks, glacier-carved valleys, mountain lakes and alpine meadows will provide great opportunity for reflection. The experience will teach safe and effective mountain travel, backpacking techniques, minimal-impact camping, navigation and compass work, route-finding skills and how to move across scree and snow-slopes. The journey will also provide a solo experience that can be entirely transformative.
