I'm a professional consulting biologist with a Bachelors of Science majoring in Environmental Science: Landscape Ecosystems, as well as a minor in Botany. I have sixteen years of experience working in the natural resources field on the Mendocino coast. Most of my work is rare plant, animal, and plant community surveys. I've conducted protocol level surveys for California red legged frogs, Behrens' silverspot butterflies, Northern spotted owls, nesting birds, Coho salmon and steelhead, Sonoma tree voles, Point Arena mountain beaver, snowy plover and a number of other animal species. I am a UC California Naturalist and Mendocino County Master Gardener.
