I am an ornithologist and ecologist with a degree in zoology and a master of science in Raptor Biology. I’ve conducted research on birds and lived in ecosystems in the Chihuahuan Desert, Great Basin, Colorado Plateau, and into Central America (Honduras and Belize), among others. Currently residing on the Colorado Front Range as an avid outdoorswoman who birds, fishes, paddles rivers, and gardens with xeric plants.
