This month I am really settling in to life in the State Office! My cube now has 5 posters and I’m slowing growing my book collection; although my shelf is mostly occupied by a
few beautiful sea shells I picked up in Mexico over Thanksgiving.

My current hobbies include making maps in ArcGIS, playing with pivot tables in Excel and learning about endangered species.

This month has been very busy; several visits to the Taos Field office including a introductory tour for the new botanist, a successful interdisciplinary team meeting at the Rio Puerco district office and more DOI Learn trainings than you can shake a stick at.
