Amateur bird photographer and nature lover. Born and raised in Newport Beach, California near the Upper Newport Bay. I'm spending a lot of time these days in the San Joaquin Wildlife Sanctuary, Newport Back Bay and the local beaches, canyons and mountains.

I received a BA in Environmental Science from Sonoma State University and have worked as a naturalist, volunteer and docent for the Nature Conservancy, OC Habitats, California State Parks, Sea & Sage Audubon Society, Banning Ranch Conservancy and the Newport Bay Conservancy.

I am a board member and Secretary for the Coastal Corridor Alliance (CCA). Inspiring, educating, and connecting the communities of the Santa Ana River coastal lands and waters.
