Bird Division @ Smithsonian Institution, National Museum of Natural History. Originally from Louisiana, I lived in Wyoming during graduate school and eventually moved to Virginia for my job in Washington, D.C. Lately volunteering for the beautiful Bull Run Mountains NAP as a research associate.

Focal groups are birds, trees, herps, and hymenoptera.

Recording bird sound is a longtime focus and passion:
