I'm easily excited by the natural world and I love being outside and seeing what I can find; being part of iNat is definitely encouraging me to document what I find, which is great! I love the community aspect of iNaturalist and I appreciate the chance to hone my ID skills and also learn a lot from other people - I'm always keen to learn new things, and the wealth of knowledge of people here always amazes me! I really appreciate all the identifications people have given me over the years, and I'm trying to pay that back by identifying other people's observations; I do my best but I'm sure I will make mistakes.

I'm currently an ecologist working in wetlands in the Columbia Valley in BC, which is a great chance to get up close and personal with pondweeds, sedges, and willows (and then struggle with identifying them)!
