Learn MoreShe loves nature for its vast diversity- every species has its own personality and "superpower." It's a peaceful refuge where birdsong soothes her, and she feels truly at home. In the wild, she's comfortable, brave and empowered to explore, learn and just be herself.
Frogs- all the way! She really likes bullfrogs, especially their funny calls and that they can be gently caught, studied and safely released. Frogs sparked her curiosity as a toddler, and she proudly insists they aren't "just for boys" - they're for anyone who wants to explore, learn and care for wildlife.
Exploring and studying nature, with a special love for streams and aquatic habitats. They have so much life and you never know what you will find! Give her a net and she can spend hours searching for hidden creatures.
