Hi everyone, It has been over a month since my Belize trip has ended and I feel so happy that I was part of such a great experience. I met people that I still talk to now and I will probably see during the school year which was awesome. But more importantly, I have learned […]

Here is the second part to my last post while I was still in Belize. 6/20/19 – Today was awesome!! We did a necropsy on a white lipped peccary. I have never seen one done before or have been involved in a necropsy so it was really surreal. I learned a lot from Dr. Restis […]

Week 1 (Part 1)

I decided I was going to set these posts up by summing up each day and my feelings about them! 6/8/19 – My first full day in Belize was amazing. At this point, we haven started class yet so it was a chill day. Going cave tubing and zip lining for $55 was honestly maybe […]

Pre-Departure

I wrote this blog post a couple of times already but I think it is most fitting to write it straight from the airport. In just 30 minutes,  I will be boarding the plane to Belize for 2 weeks and I am really excited. The past couple of nights I have been calm but last […]

About Helena Demarest

Photo of Helena Demarest.

Hey! My name is Helena Demarest and I am a rising junior on the companion animal science track at Rutgers! I am from Bergen County which is up north in Jersey. I am planning to use my education here to make a difference for our ecosystem. I used to be pre-vet because I love animals, but I realized I also have a passion for politics and the environment and I wanted to combine all of that in my career. This trip to Belize is perfect for me. If you see me around campus, I most likely have headphones listening to my favorite music. During my free time I love to watch movies and go out with my friends!
