Hello! I'm excited to spend the next couple of months in the Sonoran Desert with y'all in the desert bloom - admittedly even moreso because I just got a macro lens to shoot flowers and am not afraid to use it.

My background is mainly in botany, conservation, and sustainability and I absolutely love the work I've been so fortunate to do that has been within and crossed between these fields.

Wasting a nice day inside drives me crazy and I enjoy anything that gets me out and communing wth nature, I have a weakness for a hoppy microbrew, and my spirit likes to dance.

I just spent 8 months in Latin America and a couple of the coolest things I did include collecting a new species of Trimezia (Iridaceae) in Bolivia following the instructions, "find the yellow monocot along the road that leads to the seminary school...", and walking for 5 days in the rain to and through a town with no roads to cross the border from Argentina to Chile.

Oh, and Tecate and Arizona go hand in hand, like old friends.
