My background is in Wildlife Management and Ecology from Auburn University and Veterinary Technology from Snead State, I'm passionate about all things wild and domestic! After college, my career took me away from science and nature for almost 20 years and I thought I'd never be able to jump back in and contribute in a meaningful way, but iNaturalist has given me a fantastic outlet for my love of nature and urge to contribute to science. I am currently pursuing my Alabama Master Naturalist certification.
I like to consider myself a generalist but I do have a few areas of special interest, primarily lichens, snails, Oak gall wasps, and animal tracks and signs.
The areas I mostly visit are calcareous woods full of limestone boulders and areas of exposed bedrock in the Bangor Limestone formation. Bangor, Blount Springs, and the Mulberry and Locust Fork Rivers in Blount County, Alabama are where the bulk of my observations are from.
