Artist Statement: I printed my “Manifesto” on a sweatshirt as a fundraiser to raise funds for an anticipated trip to South Africa, Costa Rica, Belize and Ecuador. My passion for wildlife and preserving our ecosystems is very important to me which is why I want to study veterinary medicine. During my 10 month tour, I’ll be working at multiple wildlife sanctuaries where I will provide medical care, rescue efforts, and rehabilitation to all types of marine and wildlife animals that are in danger of extinction and many human related causes. Some of these animals include lions, monkeys, birds, sloths, sea turtles and not to mention the Belize coral reef.
