Hello. I am very appreciative and grateful to all the truly talented and amazing people on iNat that take the time to confirm an ID, share a bit of knowledge, and try to educate others that are wanting to learn about life on Earth on iNat. Thank you! I also love to help others with their IDs on iNat if I can. I feel like I learn so much more when I start researching some new or unfamiliar taxa. I am open to communication by iNat messaging, so feel free to reach out about IDs I've made or observation information.

Although my career path has taken me away from the natural sciences, my education included college level biology, life sciences and natural history. I do a lot of reading on my own, as well. I have also been a "birder," a nature observer/photographer, and a naturalist all my life.

~ From the tiniest plant or insect to the largest animal or forest that ever lived, I truly love learning about all God's creations! ~
