Joined Atlas Obscura in 2023

I'm a Brooklyn-based birder, author, photographer, and educator. I work with the Cornell Lab of Ornithology as a web developer, teach birding classes at Brooklyn Botanic Garden, and give walks and talks for various organizations in New York City and beyond. My latest book Find More Birds helps people do just that—I love sharing techniques for people to better connect with and experience birds and nature!
