I am a dedicated educational psychologist with a deep-rooted passion for bonsai. Born and raised in the picturesque town of Manitou Springs, Colorado, my love for nature has always been a significant part of my life. I was lucky enough to place second in the American Bonsai Society’s New Talent Competition in 2023. For me, bonsai is more than just a hobby; it’s a daily practice that allows me to reconnect with nature. Outside of bonsai, I love hiking and exploring the great outdoors with my wonderful family.
