I am an amateur botanist hailing originally from Northeast Texas. I have no classical education with plants, having studied poli-sci during undergrad, so I am always learning. So feel free to correct me! I hope to soon pursue a career in academia/policy, where I can merge my knowledge of policy and politics and my love for the environment. Besides Inat, I enjoy the gym and books.
I'm somewhat of a generalist, but my specialties are the ecosystems found across the southeastern US, especially pine and post-oak savanna associations. Always feel free to tag me in any observations!
