I am trained as a nature educator and have worked for forest preserves, museums, and zoological institutions for over 15 years. In my spare time, I enjoy foraging and making meals with wild snacks, reading science lit, dancing my butt off at live music shows, fossil collecting, biological illustration, and crafting costumes. One of my talents is giving out nifty fun facts for any animal you name. My personality is engaging, lighthearted, and creative. I don't smoke, and only drink socially but am non-judgmental about those that do. As a visitor, I've been told I am clean and respectful, down to help with random projects, and balance an even mix of socializing and recharging on my own.

I love animals...but please let me know if you have a cat so I can pack allergy pills!

Une aventure extraordinaire que j'ai vécue

Getting a private behind-the-scenes tour of the Field museum in Chicago almost made me hyperventilate. lol

Enseignez, apprenez, partagez

I can or will try to identify the species in your yard? Huge nature nerd.

Ce que j'aimerais partager avec mes hôtes

I'm a good listener, helpful, I'm good with and will distract your animals and kids. I can be the buddy to do that dumb tourist thing you've never quite justified before.
