Julie Laakko

I consider myself creative, friendly, and possessing a strong work ethic. Above all, I enjoy writing. I write poetry and short stories in my free time, and I have written several critical papers in literature and scientific studies as well. I am also interested in biology with skills centered mainly around ecology and wildlife sciences. I also enjoy public speaking and presenting as well as performing and interacting with others.
