I am definitely a naturalist at heart!
I am fascinated by all aspects of nature, and it started at a young age with the love of the outdoors and wildlife. Since 2007 I had been spending all my free time volunteering or training with every wildlife /nature conservation organisation I could get into, in both Australia and abroad, and have always collected photos of plants and animals. This is both on land and underwater! It's how I got hooked on photography, and research as I tried to ID them. Now with iNaturalist, it brings it all together for me whilst learning from so many other naturalists out there.
