A scientist who studies the relationship of plants with one another and with their living and nonliving environment.

I like being a scientist because I never get tired of asking questions and trying to answer them. The questions I like to answer are things like, ‘Why do plants and animals live where they do?’ and ‘How do human activities and land management decisions affect animals living in the wild?’ Plus, I get to run around in the woods and the scrub and wear jeans all the time!
