I grew up in Gilbert, Arizona with a great appreciation for the desert and the vast multitudes of wildlife it held. I graduated from ASU with a Bachelors of Science in Conservation Biology and Ecology with a plan to work outside and in the field for as long as I am able. I worked for the Montana Conservation Corp in 2022 where I fell in love with camping for work and the important skills that come with it. I love to learn about wildlife and the outdoors, especially reptiles and amphibians, and I look forward to traveling across the Southwest seeing what I can see. In my free time I am usually cloud watching, painting, climbing, or reading a good book.
