I am an avid birder, ornithologist, traveler, and photographer. I currently work as a red-cockaded woodpecker biologist for the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission. Over the course of my career, I have worked with several imperiled bird species, including the 'akohekohe, scarlet macaw, and Florida scrub-jay; I also studied the overwinter ecology of Rusty Blackbirds for my Master's thesis: https://orc.library.atu.edu/etds_2021/4/
