I am a nature photographer based in the Chicago area. I also spend extended time in Tucson, AZ. I volunteer at The Morton Arboretum in Lisle, IL and at Saguaro National Park in Tucson, AZ. My volunteering experience includes bloom monitoring in The Arboretum's collections, Children's Garden, the Schulenberg Prairie, Plant Clinic, and the Community Engagement and Outreach team at Saguaro National Park where I teach photography classes.
