I'm a botanist focused on tropical (especially Neo-tropical) mosses. I contribute to pages relevant to mosses that come up in my work, as well as add citations to pages lacking them and editing as I read.

Some side projects of mine include monitoring legislation affecting public instruction in the United States and adding images to moss genus pages.
