Young naturalist and researcher fascinated by biodiversity and its evolutionary origins. Currently based in Tingo María, Perú, where I am studying cacao-associated yeasts as a visiting researcher at the Universidad Nacional Agraria de la Selva. My particular taxonomic interests include mushroom-forming fungi, herbaceous plants, invertebrates, and amphibians.

Formerly based in Pennsylvania, I run the Fungi of the Greater Lehigh Valley project and am a co-organizer of the Bethlehem City Nature Challenge. Please get in touch if you’re interested in contributing to or helping run either of these efforts.
