Who's who at Operation Wallacea Canada Director of Operations - Canada: Dr Justin Hines Justin has a PhD in Anthropology (Primatology), is fluent in Spanish after spending several years working in Central America, and has run Op Wall expeditions in Honduras, Peru, Cuba, South Africa and Mozambique. He is addicted to Honduran Pizza Hut and spends as much time as possible high in the canopy Honduras, floating down the Amazon River in Peru, diving with sharks in Mozambique or searching for black coral on deep walls in Cuba . His endless enthusiasm and drive ensures that he is a key ingredient of any project that he joins. Justin is currently lecturing in Universities and Colleges around Canada, where he is able to share his Opwall experiences and explain to students how they can go about getting involved. Director of Marketing - Canada: Danielle Hines Danielle's degree in Management and Economics from U of Toronto is a little different from most of the Op Wallers backgrounds to say the least! She has worked for Op Wall for 7 years in various positions including finance/budgeting and management, and has had the fortune of doing so in Peru, South Africa, Mozambique, Cuba and Honduras. When offered the opportunity to open a Canadian Op Wall Office, Danielle and her husband Justin jumped at the chance. Running the Canadian office has given her the chance to get to know many parents of volunteers taking them through how their children WILL survive the expedition.
Office Administrator: Alana Del Brocco With a Bachelor of Science degree in Animal Biology, searching the world in search of the perfect polo pony would be a likely outcome for Alana. However she took a slight detour in the field of Clinical research only to discover that her passion for travel, nature and Latin American culture wouldn't keep her at her pharmaceutical job much longer. After spending a year in Costa Rica Alana has grown a love for rice and beans and the Spanish language. Alana is excited to join the Opwall Canada team and can't wait for her first expedition next summer. In her spare time Alana enjoys horseback riding, running, surfing and long walks on the beach.
Schools Coordinator: Tina Bruno With a bachelor degree in Liberal studies, Tina’s educational background might seem out of place for Op Wall, but her enthusiasm and passion for the natural world certainly make up for it. Her most prized possession is her BBC collection of Planet Earth, Blue Planet, and Life...which she actually bubble wrapped individually before moving home from school. After spending almost four months volunteering in Uganda through a school program, Tina is eager to get back out to discover more of the beauty this world has to offer. While in the office, Tina organizes high school presentations throughout Ontario, and will soon work on preparing the Canadian University tour.
