How long have you been teaching at T.R.E.E. and what is your role?
I’m the Earthkeepers Coordinator and I’ve been teaching at T.R.E.E. for four years.
Why are you called Waves?
I chose the nature name Waves because I grew up in a family that moved around a lot, and I didn't always like having to leave a place and adapt to a new environment with new people, but I've always loved being near water. I quickly learned that no matter where I was, I could find some water to sit next to and relax beside. Whether it's the ocean, a river, a bay, or just a little creek, if you sit still, close your eyes, and listen, the sound of the current or the waves is the same no matter where you are in the world. Sometimes the waves are really big and turbulent and sometimes they're barely noticeable, but that same rhythm is always there. No matter where I go, being by water and the sound of the waves always makes me feel at home.
What is your ideal day in nature?
My ideal day in nature is a warm sunny day spent swimming at the beach or kayaking down a river.
