Jaymi Heimbuch
Jaymi's passion for the environment started as a little girl. She has always held a special interest in wildlife and habitat conservation both on a local and global scale. As wide scale environmental problems worsen, her concern for the environment continued to grow, as did her passions for the written word, conservation photography, social activism, and technology as a tool for social and environmental change.
She received her degree in English and Creative Writing from California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, and married her loves of writing and green technology while working as Managing Editor for EcoGeek.org.
She is dedicated to writing about all things geeky and green, and has a special interest in covering water and ocean issues for TreeHugger. Her photography can be found throughout the site including in the Green Wine Guide and event coverage, and her wildlife conservation photography can be found in the Science section.
