I have always had a passion for being outside and exploring new places.  This led me to my first field job in boreal forests of northern Ontario, where I discovered the world of birds and have been watching and learning more about birds ever since.  I completed my M.Sc. on the nesting patterns of forest birds, married into a birding family, and have been raising two young girls with a love of nature.  I am an environmentalist at heart, always striving to live mindfully and enjoy gardening, cooking and volunteering in my local community.  I am excited to be part of the Birds Canada team, working with other like-minded individuals and supporters to conserve wild birds and their habitats.
