Title: Like Wind in My Sails
Date: 2019-07-17
Description: This photo was taken after an exam aboard a 45 foot catamaran as I was studying marine biology in the caribbean. Our academics were based around the marine ecosystems that we encountered through out daily diving. It seems that it would be hard to study on a boat while sailing island to island, but as you are surrounded by the nature you are so passionate about, it becomes like second nature to want to know more and more. Not only did we learn about specific marine life and global ecosystems, we learned to sail and sustain ourselves on a sail boat for a month. This humbling experience is one that is hard to articulate, but know that I have a smile on my face the whole time I am writing this.

Title: Guatapé, Colombia
Date: 2014
Description: This photo was taken in Guatapé, Colombia, about an hour and a half away from Medellín. Guatapé is home to an impressive tower. After a challenging 700-step climb, we were treated with one of the most breathtaking views any of us had ever seen. Colombia, I have learned, has no shortage of natural beauty.

Title: Mushroom Rock at Balandra Beach - Mexico
Date: 2014
Description: For the faculty-led trip to La Paz, Mexico our group took a trip to Balandra beach. There it has beautiful white sandy beaches as well as the iconic "mushroom rock." The story goes that someone knocked off the top of the rock and then the government paid to cement it back on so that it wouldn't fall off again.

Title: Taken by the Current - Caribbean Sea
Date: 2019-07-10
Description: Off of the boat within the Caribbean Sea, we did a handful of diving. When moored along the coast line of Saba, the current was so ripping that most of our diving was letting the current take us and simply directing the angle it took you at. This selfie was on a drift dive, so content with letting the ocean's power move my body throughout the dive site. The power you can feel from being surrounded underwater among incredible life, is one that is hard to top. This photo forever captures a feeling in time, that I can never, and will never, forget.

Title: Jhamtse Got Style - India
Date: 2014
Description: This photo was taken right after the Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community 8th and 9th grade boy's volleyball team, Jhamtse Got Style, found out that they had earned another chance at winning the Lumla volleyball tournament. These boys grew up together at Jhamtse Gatsal, a community, school, and home for over 85 orphaned and abandoned children from the surrounding area, and have been best friends for years. The entire Jhamtse Gatsal community had taken the thirty-minute truck ride to Lumla to watch their team compete, and the boys were overjoyed, though exhausted, to share this victory with their brothers and sisters. As a visitor to this community, it was really striking and joyful to see the community come together to cheer their team on and to celebrate their win.

Title: Double Rainbow Kitchen Superteam Go! - India
Date: 2014
Description: I spent the summer of 2014 completing a health education internship at Jhamtse Gatsal Children's Community, outside of Lumla in Arunachal Pradesh, India. One of my duties was to create a list of observations and suggestions for the community regarding the improvement of kitchen sanitation. I started my observations by volunteering an extra set of hands to help make dinner for the community. I ended up loving my time with the kitchen staff so much that I was regularly hanging out in the kitchen and peeling potatoes or grinding garlic for thukpa (thick Tibetan-style vegetable noodle soup) several nights a week. This photo is of Sharda, me, Kalu, and Rajiv (left to right), part of the kitchen "superteam" posing in front of a double rainbow outside of the kitchen at Jhamtse Gatsal.

Title: The Waterfall at the End of a Tough Hike
Date: 2019
Description: This moment was captured by a friend as I took the time after a emotionally and physically grueling hike. There is nothing better than taking a deep breath in front of roaring waters. Feeling the mist from the water on my face and staring in awe at the scenery was worth every second of the hike.

Title: Hii ni mlima wangu (this is my mountain) - Tanzania
Date: 2014
Description: This is a picture of me at the peak of Mt. Kilimanjaro. I was fortunate enough to get the opportunity to climb with eight of my fellow volunteers with an exceptional expedition company. During the hike I constantly questioned whether or not I would be able to summit. The phrase I used for the title of this photo is one that my fellow volunteers and I learned while hiking that had a lot of significance when we all reached the top. Accomplishing this feat is something that I know I will be able to carry with me for the rest of my life, and can use as reassurance that I can do whatever I set my mind to, as long as my priorities are straight.

Title: The Road Goes Ever On
Date: 2019-10-04
Description: Our classrooms were a bit different from most. Each day was spent hiking anywhere between 6-12 miles and our learning took place outside of a traditional classroom setting. It was fascinating to get to see and experience the cultural, physical and biological processes that we were learning about.
