Sunset Beach, NC - Wendy Picard
Wendy holds a degree in Ecology & Evolutionary Biology, and is enthusiastic about the biological sciences. She is currently in school to become a high school Biology teacher. She especially loves learning about the "green" movement and the organics trend, and about how to better treat the natural environment.
She considers her "life's passion" to be horses - horseback riding, training, showing, and judging at local shows.
She spends her time reading the classics and about her favorite topics when she isn't chasing after her infant!
