About Me

Olivia Edirweera - Owner and Co-Founder

A bit about me? I’m the owner and co-founder of The Gaia Collection. I have a huge passion for protecting the environment, so passionate that I'm now a Third-year BSc student at Massey University Manawatu studying Zoology (Pst that’s animal studies!). After starting The Gaia Collection in high school I decided to continue while studying full-time as its such a passion project of mine!

 

My current plan after my degree is to continue on to work in conservation research, to further make a difference for species in Aotearoa and around the world. I’ve always known I wanted to make a difference for wildlife and I’m so proud to say I am, even before my career has started. 

When I’m not working on The Gaia Collection, chances are you’ll find me out in nature soaking it all in, helping out as Massey's Wildlife and Conservation Club president … or more realistically, at my desk buried under a pile of textbooks studying.
