I’m passionate about our planet, its wild places, and our connections to them.

I’ve been fascinated about the natural world for as long as I can remember. Growing older, that fascination developed into a formal commitment towards the advocacy and protection of our wild spaces.

I consider myself a conservationist, communicator, and natural sounds recordist. My graduate degrees in ecology and evolutionary biology formally shaped my understanding of the intimate workings of nature. As a professional, I’ve since looked to explore the inherent beauty of nature, as well as our impact and reliance upon it.

Using high-quality nature recordings and evocative storytelling, I work to provide opportunities for everyone to develop their own personal relationship with the outdoors. Additionally, I seek to better understand our natural heritage and reliance on healthy, natural systems, specifically seeking to engage overlooked and underrepresented groups. Ultimately, I aim to help as many people as possible responsibly connect to our wild places, so we may develop sustainable lifestyles which allow future generations to explore, enjoy, and exist alongside our wild lands.

Thank you for visiting my site. Here you’ll find some of the projects that I have worked on over the years. These projects highlight my capacity as a natural sounds recordist, science communicator, writer, designer, and educator/mentor. I’ve also included many of the press features covering my work.
