I'm a Natural Resources Specialist with Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation’s Division of Nature Preserves and Natural Resources in Charlotte, NC. I also work for the Dr. James F. Matthews Center for Biodiversity Studies. I have an MS in Environmental Studies with a concentration in Conservation Biology from Green Mountain College in Vermont. I’m a generalist and love documenting the biodiversity that I encounter everywhere. I also hope that my observations here can help contribute to the conservation of biodiversity.
