She also works with Vancouver Science World as an Outreach Facilitator to make science more accessible to communities facing barriers. Every Saturday, Alina works with the Pacific Spirit Park Society and leads invasive species removal events. In her free time, Alina enjoys photography, cooking, and painting.
