I’m a sophomore at the State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry studying environmental biology and working towards a career in wetland restoration ecology, though I may just end up opening a coffeehouse, which would be fun too.

I have a controlled addiction to good coffee. I’ve been drinking it since I was five years old. I drink mainly drink Peace Coffee, Gimme Coffee, and Freedom Of Espresso coffee.

I love photography and currently shoot with an Asahi Pentax Spotmatic SP from 1964 with a 55mm f/1.8, a 50mm f/1.4, a 28mm f/2.5, and a 200mm f/3.5 lens and a Pentax K200D with an 18-55mm f/3.5 lens.

I’ve been gardening since I was a wee little one…I still had my cotyledons then!
