Every park,
mapped to the species.

I created this group, led it by example, and helped shape it into what it is today. I started it out of a deep interest in biology, a drive to bring communities together through environmental awareness, and a passion for doing my part to make the world a better place.

I oversee the technical backbone of NTBI — the website, our data systems, and the tools that turn thousands of field observations into something the public can explore. Good science deserves to be seen, and technology is how we open our work to the community.

I oversee our field operations and logistics — coordinating teams, managing resources, and making sure every survey runs smoothly from planning to upload. Careful organization is what turns ambitious environmental goals into real, measurable results.

I lead the scientific vision behind our survey — shaping how we observe, verify, and interpret what we find in the field. Strong scientific leadership is the foundation of meaningful discovery; without it, great ideas never become real solutions.

I check the accuracy of every observation before it enters our dataset — confirming identifications, catching errors, and holding our records to a standard the scientific community can trust. Reliable data is what separates real research from a collection of photos.

I mapped every park zone and organized our location data into clean, reliable spreadsheets for the team — making sure each survey area was accurately identified and easy to analyze. Good science depends on knowing exactly where every observation comes from.

I shape how NTBI tells its story — turning our data and findings into clear, accurate writing that anyone in the community can follow. Research only matters if people can understand it, and good writing is how our science reaches the public.

I connect NTBI with the cities and parks departments whose land we survey — coordinating outreach, building partnerships, and making sure our findings reach the people who manage these spaces. Local biodiversity work has the most impact when it's shared directly with the community.

I handpicked the most diverse and biologically rich parks the Dallas area had to offer and led our surveys through them. I've always been drawn to both leadership and environmentalism, so this role was the perfect chance to explore those interests while giving back to my community.

I led our surveys across the parks beyond Dallas proper — from Richardson and University Park to Irving and Azle — making sure each site was covered as thoroughly as our urban core. Biodiversity doesn't stop at the city line.
