Former horticulturist, current land surveying student, and an aspiring amateur botanist! I’m most familiar with vascular plants in the SW Ohio region, but I’m also particularly interested in liverworts, lichens, slime molds, and arthropods.

I enjoy wandering in areas that few people have documented and seeing what I find, particularly wetlands or riparian areas. Feel free to send me a message if you have a question about an observation or ID I’ve made, or if you’re in the Cincinnati region and would like a hiking buddy!

My profile picture is me holding a Southern Flying Squirrel as part of a scientific study tracking their population throughout Southern Ohio - no squirrels were harmed :)
