Born and raised in Fairfield, Connecticut. It all began with a passion for the outdoors. I began volunteering with animals from a young age and never looked back. I have since earned a B.S. in Biology from Eckerd College, published biological primary research articles in peer-reviewed journals, completed internships across the world including The American Museum of Natural History and the Amazon Rainforest in Peru, and have worked semi professionally as a photographer/videographer. My curiosity drives me and I hope to make a positive impact through sound science and outreach.

On a personal side, I love spending time with family, skiing (both alpine and water), watching and making movies, cooking, and going on adventures.
