I have over 15 years of experience as a field biologist in Florida. As the botanist for the Florida Park Service’s Southwest District, I was responsible for all aspects of species inventory, imperiled plant monitoring and invasive species management in 34 parks covering over 240,000 acres of conservation land. My work included Florida’s largest state park, Fakahatchee Strand Preserve as well as Myakka River State Park. I am now a Curatorial Assistant in the Botany Department at Marie Selby Botanical Gardens where I assist with imperiled species conservation projects in Florida, specimen curation, species inventory and data management.
