About Me:
I am a student at the Southwest Institute of Healing Arts. I am there for western herbalism, and specializing in urban farming. I have not yet started the farming classes but am eager to start learning and growing on my own. I work at an herb store and vegetarian cafe. I love plants and animals. I love to be active and to be in nature. Hiking, running, and camping are a few of my favorite outdoor activities. I grew up in the Northwest where it is wet and green. A huge difference from the dry desert we have here, which is why I am so eager to learn how to grow a sustainable crop here.
