Volunteer for the Nature Conservancy on Ellsworth Creek Project in Willapa Hills, southwest Washington. Lover of redwoods, the Olympic peninsula, old-growth forests and nature in general. Committed to protecting life on our planet faced with ecological crisis.

I'm trained in biochemistry and worked in genomics but am now focused on, and passionate about studying forest ecosystems. I'm currently focused on surveying/studying old growth forest species and characteristics. Eager to learn and network with others on these and other topics.
