I began my birding journey during the early days of COVID and immediately became obsessed. Since then, I’ve explored the birding haunts of St. Louis, crisscrossed the state of Missouri, and journeyed far and wide in search of birds and their stories.

As an educator at the Audubon Center at Riverlands, I spend my days sharing my bird joy with students, visitors, and fellow birders. All at one of the premier birding destinations in the St. Louis area.

My birding journey and career then led me to this project, an attempt to spread some joy through storytelling. So not only do I hope to share my own sagas, but also inspire others to find and share their own birding stories.

Hope to see you out there!
