I am an amateur naturalist and advocate for wildlife and the natural world. I have been fascinated with all things nature ever since I can remember. Unfortunately, my career path took me in a different direction.

To stay connected with nature, I venture into the wilderness as often as possible, and I volunteer my time at organizations dedicated to wildlife and habitat conservation.

I love iNaturalist! Since I've started using it, I find myself looking more closely at nature than ever before. I enjoy photographing, documenting, and sharing my observations with the iNat community.
