Teal Beattie

My name is Teal Beattie and I am a 24 year old female born, raised and loving B.C. I grew up in the suburbs of Vancouver but feel even more at home in B.C’s islands, where I spent the past year and a half. I am studying alternative health courses through correspondence in everything from herbalism to color therapy. I am happiest when I am outdoors, on land or in water. Music is also a big part of my life, especially since I have begun to play guitar. I have always loved writing and it has been my outlet creatively and emotionally for many years. My appreciation for our beautiful outdoors makes me care deeply about the environmental. I look forward to contributing articles on important issues and the technology that will impact our planet for the better!
