I moved to Florida in 2017 and soon joined the Venice Area Audubon Society (VAAS). That’s when my birding took off! Today, I lead birding tours for VAAS, Lemon Bay Conservancy, Peace River Audubon Society and the Venice Area Birding Association. My love for animals also led me to volunteer for Save Our Seabirds in Sarasota. There I spent most of my time in the baby bird room; raising them for release. When I moved from Venice to Englewood, I switched from SOS to the Venice Wildlife Center. First volunteering in their baby bird room and now going on wildlife rescues.

I was born and raised on the
Florida coast, where the ocean and
outdoors have always been a
central part of my life. Growing up
f
ishing, boating, surfing, and
skimboarding gave me a deep
appreciation for Florida’s natural
beauty and inspired me to share it
with others.
I was born and raised in venice
graduating from Venice high class
of 2024, playing baseball and
lacrosse there. I plan on getting my
business degree over at the state
college of Florida, and want to get
into owning my own trade business
here. Working with SUP
Englewood started as a part time
job for me in high-school, and it
quickly grew into a job that I’ve
loved now everyday for the past 2
years.
As a certified Florida Master

I love combining adventure and
education on every paddleboard

fun experiences that connect
people to the water and leave them
