Kojo has had a passion for nature and the environment for as long as he can remember. After reading a book about birds of prey in first grade and eagerly seeking out more field guides at the library, he developed a fascination with birds and never looked back (or down). Over the years, he has come to appreciate every species he encounters, and his list of favorite birds grows with every minute he spends outside.
Kojo attended Princeton University, earning a degree in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. During college, he traveled for research internships and semesters abroad, building bird lists in countries such as Mozambique, South Africa, and Panama. He completed a senior thesis on the social behavior of Black Vultures at Hawk Mountain Sanctuary in Pennsylvania and served as president and social media chair of the Princeton Birding Society, where he competed in and won the World Series of Birding with his college classmates. After graduating in spring 2024, Kojo spent the fall working as an Interpretive Naturalist in Cape May, followed by a year as a Hubbard Fellow for The Nature Conservancy in Nebraska.
More than anything, Kojo loves sharing his passion for birds with others, both in person and online. He believes that birding is an activity everyone can enjoy!
