I am passionate about the relationships between people and place. My background in stakeholder and youth engagement, Federal and nonprofit sectors, and program development is rooted in environmental knowledge and a deep commitment to interdisciplinary critical thought. My dedication to intersectional justice and environmental stewardship informs all I do.
