About Me
Originally from San Diego, CA I have always been drawn to the water. My bachelors degree in Wildlife Fish & Conservation Biology at UC Davis allowed me to turn my passion into a career, and contribute to the conservation of aquatic species.
Ive also taken my love for fish a different direction, with art! I love to draw and paint all sorts of fish, and am stoked to share them with you. EDUCATION
