Biography
I was born and raised in the Sonoran Desert with a love of arthropods and herpetofauna. I focused a lot of my time and care into biodiversity education, community science initiatives, and natural history collections upkeep at both Scottsdale Community College and Arizona State University. I enjoy working with biodiversity data, especially working to streamline and standardize information storage and sharing. In my free time I love fiber arts like knitting, spinning, and embroidery as well as learning about historical folk clothing.
