Spent some time #birding in Port Aransas, TX last weekend and saw these pretty birds at the Leonabelle Birding Center. I’m terrible at ID-ing shorebirds… Can anyone tell if these are Long-billed Dowitchers or something else?

Finally got a copy of Finspan from my local game store!! @whysharksmatter.bsky.social you ready to play? 😅

The kindest welcome gift in my hotel room from the mayor’s office in Suncheon Bay. This city LOVES cranes!

Equally, it’s near impossible to describe the feeling when these orphans accept you into the family & take a bottle of milk. The 24-hour care needed to provide for these traumatized babies is intense & I’m so thankful to get to work alongside dedicated people like Akanyang and the entire EH team.

One of the Dallas Zoo conservation projects I work on is with an elephant orphanage in Botswana, called Elephant Havens. It’s so difficult to describe the depth of love each staff member of EH has for these amazing orphaned elephants, who range from a couple months old to 5-ish years old. 🐘

Looking forward to sharing all about our work and learning from all of you and your efforts. Hoping to find a community here like I had back in the day on the bird app!

We work in projects and partnerships across 23 countries, in everything from rewilding & habitat restoration to anti-wildlife trafficking, climate resiliency, food security, and more.

I’m so proud though, that a huge focus of our One Health efforts are in our Dallas neighborhood of Oak Cliff.

I’m terrible at social media, but excited to be here meeting all of you!

I’m the Senior Director of Conservation at the Dallas Zoo, where I’m proud to have helped develop a really holistic program focused on community-driven conservation efforts.
