Hello! I'm a botanist interested in understanding plant diversity and the role it plays in supporting diverse ecological communities. I conduct botanical inventories to assess and map rare plants, primarily in NY State Parks, and work to promote and advise on their conservation. Nothing beats days out exploring the natural areas of the northeast!
