I am a botanist and specimen collector, working in the field with the Forest Inventory & Analysis program under the USFS Rocky Mountain Research Station. My work puts me in the wild multiple times a week! I studied Environmental Biology / Plant Biology at Michigan State University.

I am interested in plant biodiversity, ecology, and the human role in it all. I use iNaturalist to familiarize myself with and contribute to the knowledge of our flora.

Accuracy is very important to me, so please let me know if you doubt an identification.
