Greetings! My name is Ren. I am a NYS licensed wildlife rehabilitator, certified animal nutrition counselor, and am currently attending college to become a highschool biology teacher. I am a straight edge vegan, though probably not in the preachy judgmental way you are thinking. I share my home with a myriad of rescued companions in addition to my collection of invertebrates. I look forward to meeting other enthusiasts, especially local individuals who might be interested in meeting up in the field to observe and photograph wild specimens.
