I'm no expert, but I am curious and always excited to learn new things! I'm the Director of Land Conservation for the Maryland/D.C. Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, so I see a lot of US Mid-Atlantic natural areas close-up. I also care for a Virginia native plant garden in my neighborhood. And I love using iNat when I travel! All comments and corrections are appreciated! I'm always ready to learn from my mistakes.

I am passionate about nurturing the skills and confidence of the iNat community, especially identifiers. I organize a monthly series on Zoom to share knowledge, build skills and welcome new iNat users to the community:
