I'm an economics and climate change student at the University of California, San Diego. I studied abroad at the London School of Economics in the 2023-2024 school year.

I'm a member of the California Native Plant Society - Santa Clara Valley Chapter; you might know me from the field trips I've been on with the San Diego County Chapter. I became interested in California's native plants from volunteering with CNPS at the Lake Cunningham Native Garden in San Jose, wherein I was (and still am, when I'm in town) deeply involved in the ongoing habitat restoration project.

Moreover, I'm fond of exploring the natural world wherever I am. I dig botany, plant and pollinator ecology, and birdwatching. With respect to botany, I observe plants ranging from rare endemics in far-flung trails to common weeds in famous locales. Pollinators and their behavior fascinate me; I'm always curious to see what insects are hovering about flowering plants. With birdwatching, I do my best to capture quality pictures of birds big and small with my camera, and edit my shots accordingly.

If I was the earth I'd be like mountains bountiful
And if I were the sky so high, I'd be like wind invincible and
If I could be a seed I would give birth to redwood trees and
If I were the trees, I'd generate the freshest air to breathe in
