Questions

Whens My Birthday?

I was born on December 1st hailing from peak winter baby energy. My parties usually came with snowdrifts, frozen cake, and at least one relative trying to combine my birthday gift with Christmas. Honestly, it just trained me early to handle the cold like a champ.

What Makes You Passionate?

My community, discovery, and joy. I love seeing how people, plants, and ecosystems connect, uncovering new ideas or hidden corners of nature, and celebrating the small moments that make it all worthwhile. Passion, for me, comes from being part of something bigger while still finding fun in the details.

What about favorite person?

Albert Einstein — not just for his genius, but for his curiosity and imagination. He looked at the world differently, asked big questions, and never stopped exploring ideas, which is exactly the kind of perspective I try to bring to my work with plants, ecosystems, and everything in between. Plus, he somehow made unraveling the universe look effortless and stylish.

Hometown?

I’m from Cleveland, Ohio — home of unpredictable weather, Lake Erie winds strong enough to knock over your hat, and sports teams that teach you the true meaning of patience. Cleveland might be gritty, but it’s also full of green spaces and hidden beauty, which probably explains why I ended up in horticulture.

Oo Oo Any Hobbies?

Skateboarding when the pavement isn’t iced over, reading when I need new ideas, sketching when words don’t cut it, aquariums because sometimes plants aren’t enough, I like to hang out with fish too and Nintendo games, mostly Minecraft, because apparently I can’t get enough of planting trees in real life and in blocky worlds.

Something you couldnt live without?

Scenic landscape of a lake with green hills and towering mountains in the background under a cloudy sky.

Make it

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
