Amateur herper from northern Virginia with a focus in reptiles and amphibians of the southeastern US. I herped from 2011-2016 and took a break during college. Now, I'm based out of Richmond, herping frequently, and currently trying to upload those older observations to iNat. I graduated from William and Mary with Environmental Science and Public Policy degrees in 2021.

In my youth, I held educational reptile shows for my neighborhood and made my own scrapbooks/youtube videos documenting herp observations. In high school, I fended off a commercial development in the Popes Head Creek watershed in Fairfax County through my environmental organization and the zoning board.

As of March 2024, I've observed 37 of the 159 recorded herp species in Virginia on iNat and hope to see many more. I feel extremely lucky living in a state with such spectacular diversity in habitat and herpetofauna.
