I'm an economics and climate change student at the University of California, San Diego studying abroad at the London School of Economics from fall 2023 until summer 2024. Very excited to make observations from Europe and the British Isles.

I'm a member of the California Native Plant Society - Santa Clara Valley Chapter; you might know me from the field trips I've been on with the San Diego County Chapter. I became interested in California's native plants from volunteering with CNPS at the Lake Cunningham Native Garden in San Jose, wherein I was (and still am, when I'm in town) deeply involved in the ongoing habitat restoration project.

Moreover, I'm fond of exploring the natural world wherever I am. I dig botany, plant and pollinator ecology, and birdwatching. With respect to botany, my plant observations range from rare endemics in far-flung trails to common weeds in famous locales. Pollinators and their behavior fascinate me; I'm always curious to see what insects are hovering about flowering plants. With birdwatching, I do my best to capture quality pictures of birds big and small with my camera, and edit my shots accordingly.

If I was the earth I'd be like mountains bountiful
And if I were the sky so high, I'd be like wind invincible and
If I could be a seed I would give birth to redwood trees and
If I were the trees, I'd generate the freshest air to breathe in
