About
I’m an ecologist and science writer based in the sunshine and alligator-filled landscape of South Florida. I regularly write pieces on climate change, species conservation, sustainability, and the environment. I’ve spent many a long hour working on tropical ecology, statistics and mathematical methods, wetland conservation, and migratory species. When I’m not glued to my laptop, I like traveling, dancing, and doing anything outdoors.
