I am the restoration ecology supervisor for the Missouri Botanical Garden at the Litzsinger Road Ecology Center. I specialize on our native flora along with our native bumble bees, as well as a heavy interest in other native bees and pollinators. I am a trained horticulturist and was a certified arborist through the International Society of Arboriculture. I am also an active member of our St. Louis Chapter of the Wild Ones, the Missouri Prairie Foundation, and Missouri Native Plant Society. I love learning all about everything having to do with our native flora, the fauna they sustain, and the natural beauty they create.
