Hi everyone! I a nature enthusiast who studied birds and bird fossils at University of California, Berkeley. My research focused on the skeletal morphology of birds, from the hindlimbs of extinct loon-like birds called Hesperornis to the skulls of raptors like California Condors.

I am currently the curator of Integrated Biology at the San Bernardino County Museum in Redlands, California. I love managing the biological collections, educating the public on our local fauna and flora, and making professional connections with other museum folks and scientists. I live in the San Bernardino Mountains and enjoy hiking and kayaks on the lakes. I particularly love birding, but I am interested in any kind of nature I find and learning more about it.
