Of course, there has to be an introduction. You want to know who is going to be navigating you through this experience, right? I (Kayla) will primarily be doing all the writing, so I suppose we can start with me first. Dakota is awesome at technology, and video/photo editing so that will be his expertise during this endeavor. 

 

I’m originally from New York (Finger Lakes area), and have always loved nature, animals (specifically while they're in the wild and I can marvel at their behavior), and I have always loved traveling and experiencing new things. In 2017 I began my education at Kent State University in Ohio, where I received my bachelor’s in criminology and justice studies, and psychology, with a minor in forensic anthropology (May of 2021). I am now obtaining my Master of Public Health. My day-to-day job is creating content about mental health and presenting it to my university. I love a good book, hanging out in the hammock, camping, taking photos, visiting parks of course, creating art in my spare time, and you guessed it, Dakota.
