Brief Biographical Sketch:

I grew up in Staunton, Virginia and, for my whole life, I have adored studying biology. This took its earliest form when I was very young and began dissecting roadkill (or pretty much anything I could find). I studied these animal's anatomy and pathology, but, in high school, added art to this hobby. Using my research and anatomical study during dissection, I began to taxidermy these animals as well. This hobby has become an incredibly important part of my scientific and artistic identity. I am excited to share my love for this with others and maybe be part of helping others discover similar passions.
