As a South African who grew up watching birds and traveling through remote parts of Africa, birding and the outdoors are Wendy’s passion. She has lived in different parts of the world, traveled through many more, and remains at heart an avid outdoor enthusiast who loves to watch and study birds on any continent from a bike, a kayak or on foot. After many years at UCLA, Wendy is now based in Hood River, Oregon and spends her weekdays figuring out how to obtain funds and support for an accessible healthcare clinic. Weekends are of course birding, biking, swimming, kayaking in any order so long as it is outside. In addition to being Treasurer for SSRS, Wendy is Vice-President of the Kern River Valley Heritage Foundation, a land trust and steward of more than 5,000 acres in the Kern Valley.
