I'm 23 and have loved nature for as long as I can remember. I grew up visiting National and State Parks with my family, hiking, camping, and going to wildlife and nature centers and festivals. I studied Ecology, Evolution, and Biodiversity at UC Davis. Some of my favorite classes were Biology of Invertebrates, Raptor Biology, Animal Communication, Biology and Conservation of Wild Birds, and Insects And Art. I volunteered at the California Raptor Center and did internships with wood ducks and tree swallows. My favorite animals are birds and moths, but I'm more knowledgable on the former.
