My Writing Philosophy
“To truly understand an animal, you must understand its world. My writing aims to go beyond simple facts about a species and explore the ‘why’ behind its behavior. Why does a wolf howl? Why does a bear hibernate? By answering these questions, we not only learn about wildlife, but we also learn about the interconnectedness of all living things.”
