About

I consider myself an information professional, which means I’m good at finding obscure information that you can’t find by just going to Google. I am interested in people’s information needs, which led me beyond Library & Information Sciences to study social inclusion, cultural competency, and globalization and its effects upon the world.  I understand how a person’s world view affects how they see and understand the world around them, and we must embrace our differences.

I have travelled around the world to over 100 countries and learned a lot about people and their natural environments. I focus on finding detailed and hard-to-find information about natural history in all corners of the world. I care about people and their response to visitors as well as to their natural environment.

I previously worked as a Research Analysis at the University of Washington where I worked with diverse teams and a variety of organizations, from government to research to small businesses.
