I'm an environmental professional with an interdisciplinary background and many interests. The connecting thread across all my work is a desire to protect the natural world, educate and innovate ways to live more sustainably. My career has been diverse and taken me around the world. I've been a scientific researcher and taught field studies across the Asia Pacific, North and South America. I've managed biodiversity conservation and forest restoration ventures with nonprofits, and guided sustainable development projects for government agencies. I also have a long history within experiential education and with communications as a writer and photographer. I'm an ideas person, an out of the box thinker and comfortable wearing many hats.
