Csteele4
I'm Christina/Tina, and I am self employed running a creative fibre business dyeing yarns and fibre inspired by the colours of native flora and fauna. I also work casually for an ecological consulting company doing flora surveys, and am learning the skills to assist with fauna, as well. I'm a volunteer firey, and after spending all of the summer of 2019/2020 firefighting, I left my job as a local librarian for a bit of a break, became very interested in the incredible plants which started to emerge in the local bushland when the rains came in spring, and went back to Uni part-time to finish the Environmental Science degree I had started and then paused in 2015, changing my major to Conservation Ecology with a minor in Botany. I'm currently studying via distance at UNE.
