Bellingham,WA

Summary

I was born and raised on a farm in a small country called Suriname, located in South America. After graduating from high school, I moved to the United States and finished my Bachelor's degree in Orlando Florida. When I completed my time at the University, I packed up my car and drove from Florida to Washington State to follow my heart and my love for killer whales. I am an enthusiastic multi-disciplinarian, eager to positively contribute to the world around me. I have experience providing quality work to exceed expectations, I am reliable, focused, flexible, and always eager to learn and take on new challenges and adventures.
