Hiya! I’m a recent biology and communications grad from Massachusetts. Currently I’m an educator at an AZA zoo where I teach the public about our natural world as well as helping to care for some wonderful animals. On the side I’m also a freelance illustrator, and I have big interests in history, culture, and languages! :-)

I love learning about all species as every organism is a piece to the greater puzzle, but my favorites (and the ones I am generally more knowledgeable in) are mammals and avians. I occasionally do make mistakes - I am no expert but I’m learning every day!

Sometimes my photos aren’t the best, usually because I get excited about an organism and really want to post it but only happen to catch a cryptid quality level photo. That being said, I also aim to be better at photography, so sometimes there might be some goodish photos sprinkled in! ;-)

I would love to make some more iNat friends, local or abroad! If you’re on here, you’re already a wicked cool person in my book!
