I am the founder and story curator of Wild Hope, a magazine about Earth's biodiversity. I'm also a licensed wildlife rehabilitator and certified California Naturalist. I was an animal husbandry volunteer at the Marine Mammal Center (TMMC) in Sausalito, CA, for 13 years, and now that I reside at The Sea Ranch I am a stranding volunteer for TMMC and a docent with the Harbor Seal Docent Program here.
