Interests

I've always come at science from a natural history perspective.  So how could I not love community science platforms that combine a love of nature with an interest in science? My interet in birds specifically was sparked through a research internship in undergrad, and since then birding has become a favourite passtime of mine. Following my avid engagement with eBird, I discovered iNaturalist and found out that birds aren't the only cool things living out there.

No surprise that my love of nature is paired with a love of outdoor activities, most notably camping and hiking. I hope to get out every summer and find a new trail or park to explore, and have a long list of trips I want to do in the future. At the moment, I'm keen to stay local and explore all the nature that Quebec has to offer.

Photography is fun and happens to compliment my other interests perfectly. I've always been interested in photography, but only really got into it through taking pictures of birds. Since then, I've acquired a passion for macro photography, for insects and other small things, and film photography for landscapes and everything else. And check out some of my photos of fieldwork!
