Bad Ass Single Friend of the Month
Audrey
This is Audrey. Audrey is the most bad ass biologist I know. See all those pictures of her holding reptiles?? I have about 700 pictures of her dating back to when we were in high school of her holding shit like that. Her specialty is herpetology, but she’s also into birds and insects. She has a BS and MS in wildlife ecology / management, and currently works as a herpetologist in Phoenix, AZ. If you’ve ever been to Phoenix and seen a girl with a headband running across the street to pick up a snake, that was probably her.
But wait, it doesn’t stop there! Audrey is also a bad ass artist. She is probably one of my greatest inspirations. If you’ve ever been in my apartment and thought it was cool or creative, you will be disappointed to know that I totally ripped off Audrey’s decorating style. She draws, she paints, she stipples, she screen prints…BAD ASS.
Some things Audrey likes:
Activities: - hiking and being outside, fishing, collecting rocks, skulls, and other things in the woods, observing wildlife, collecting, classifying, and pinning insects, herping, doing art, reading, cooking, shopping, laying around
- Favorite Music:
- Liz Phair, Tom Petty, Wilco, Feist, A Tribe Called Quest, Steely Dan, Dixie Chicks
- Favorite TV Shows:
- cooking shows, what not to wear, America’s Next Top Model, medical mystery shows, Antiques Roadshow
- Favorite Books:
- diary of a cracker childhood, a walk in the woods, jungle, hot zone, best science writing series, and most natural history or medical mystery books
So if you’re interested in Audrey and you’re not a psycho, you should send her an email. Or even better– a rare moth. Or a skull!!! audreykowens@yahoo.com
I couldn’t resist including this. SOOOO Audrey.


Super cute! Probably a few thousand miles too far away, but if I’m ever passing through Arizona, I’d definitely make the detour for a cup of coffee and some reptile holding, for sure.
