My career spans 30 years at NSM, and I met many of you in the naturens comm= unity over the course of those decades. I am proud of my accomplishments: p= ublishing 3 books (1 as a museum employee), an ebook and 2 apps. Given the = job of curating a collection that had never been catalogued, I have spent h= alf of my last 18 years cataloguing and data entering 40,000 specimens. My collaborations have been largely external. I maintained my relationship = with Acadia University since a student there in the 1980s and 1990s. The re= cent ebook, NS Plants was coauthored with my friends and mentors from Acadi= a. I built relationships with the IWK Poison Centre, NSAC Ornamental Horti= culture group, NS TIR Environmental, City of Halifax Environment group and = many others over the years. I served as Secretary, Vice-President, and Dire= ctor of the Canadian Botanical Association from 2005-2015. I led the Netuku= limk team to revamp the foyer, building a welcoming space for our visitors. Many of you contributed to my success, providing me notes, comments and pho= tos. The Nova Scotia Plants ebook alone had a contributor list of over 40 i= ndividuals! I am forever indebted to Dr. Sam vanderKloet for his guidance a= nd support while I was his student. And to Ruth Newell, my friend and mento= r. Thank you all.
