Welcome to your next adventure.

Nature has played a huge role in my life – both as a source of wonder and a place to find peace. My hope is that you can find that connection, too.

With the Bay Area’s amazing richness in diversity and places to see, I’ve created this science communication blog to help get you outside and know the creatures you’re seeing.

Happy adventuring!
