I hold a B.S. in Biology and have an A.S. in Criminal Justice. Currently, I am working on my M.S. in Wildlife Conservation. I'm passionate about Florida ecosystems and have always found joy exploring the history of pre-colonial Florida and its evolution. In my free time, I enjoy hiking, nature photography, amateur wine/ compound gin making, native plant gardening, cooking, reading, and traveling. I also speak very basic French and am trying to improve my language skills.
