I am an ecologist, writer, and educator exploring how people and nature can thrive together. My work weaves science and creativity to reveal the hidden life of cities and the stories that connect us to the living world. Through research, writing, and hands-on environmental education, I help others see nature not as something distant, but as something that connects us to eachother and to the planet.  

I grew up and went to college in Illinois, USA, where I worked closely with conservation organizations, youth programming groups, and my local community to help connect children and families to nature. I currently live and work in Berlin, Germany, where I enjoy visiting local parks, crafting, and exploring with my family.
