Curious by nature and drawn to hands-on work, I've been cultivating mushrooms since 2022 through independent study, experimentation, and practice. I'm fascinated by the complexity of fungi and the opportunity to care for and learn from a living system. With over 15 years in a profession built on precision, cleanliness, and consistency, I value thoughtful work, attention to detail, and contributing to a process that's bigger than any one step.
