About me

For me, sustainability is a pause, a remembrance of the inner and outer wisdom that calls us to take action. It's about getting back on a path aligned with nature's intelligence, and acknowledging that BIPOC communities and Indigenous wisdom have been excluded from this conversation and not honored for their efforts and insights for far too long. 

I am deeply inspired by the Just Transition framework, the practices of Intersectional Sustainability, 10 Principles of Disability Justice, and the Principles of Emergent Strategy. Now is the moment to bring about concrete, meaningful change by nurturing sacred connections and actively supporting communities of color!

I am thankful for this work that supports amplifying student voices and ingenuity around justice-centered sustainability. My guiding principles center around the awe and intelligence of nature, recognizing and working with the limiting and negative facets of my mind, honoring that I am perfect but always growing into more, acknowledging the immense and beautiful power of community, celebrating abundance with gratitude, and employing compassion and love as key tools on this human journey.

In my free time, I love hiking, biking, swimming, game nights, social dancing, volunteering on urban farms, snowshoeing in the winter, and continuing to learn. I also enjoy walks picking up trash and dips in the lake during summer.
