MEET THE TEAM
Crew Lead / Summer Naturalist
I am a biology undergraduate student at UVic and have lived in the Highlands surrounded by nature for my whole life. My main interest is birds, I am a licensed bird bander and have worked on projects studying the impact of industry on breeding birds in northern Alberta, as well as monitoring migrating birds in southwest British Columbia. Other taxa I particularly enjoy observing includes land and marine invertebrates, mammals, reptiles and amphibians. I am thrilled to be joining the BC Parks iNaturalist team this summer, and I can’t wait to spend time in some of the most beautiful places in the province!
Summer Naturalist
I’m a biology undergraduate student at the University of Victoria and this is my second year being part of the team. I am originally from Courtenay BC, but now based out of Victoria. I’m interested in a wide range of taxa, but most comfortable with vascular plants, bryophytes, birds and lichens. I also occasionally dabble in insects, mammals, fish and reptiles.
Summer Naturalist
I discovered my passion for botany and entomology while growing up in Bali, Indonesia. I made the long move from Indonesia to Victoria to pursue a BSc in Geography and Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria. Since graduating in 2020, i've done public outreach regarding native flora and provided native plant consultations. Last summer, I had the opportunity to join the Biodiversity Team for one trip, so i'm is very excited to be a part of the project for the whole summer. Thanks to iNaturalist, my passion for photography and conservation can be converged and shared with community and scientists around the world. I can't wait for all the observations to come!
