Hello There!
I am a freelance illustrator, author, and naturalist currently based in Cleveland, Ohio after spending a dreamy few years in the San Francisco area. You can find me out hiking with my dog along one of the many beautiful rivers in Northeast Ohio, usually peering under logs for salamanders.
I am currently a certified California Naturalist and American Cetacean Society naturalist, and am on my way to becoming a certified naturalist in Ohio. My goal is to use illustration as a tool to educate about science and inspire others to fall in love with the natural world, as I have.
