My journey in sustainability has been both diverse and deeply rewarding. From the rugged coast of New England, where I worked on a lobster boat in Frenchman Bay, to the orchards of a historic cider mill in Western New York, my experiences have shaped my commitment to environmental stewardship. Leading sustainability efforts for a 1600-acre conservation ranch in Colorado allowed me to merge my passion for land management with innovative practices in waste management, sustainable food systems, and permaculture principles.
I hold a Master’s in Sustainable Food Systems and a Bachelor’s in Human Ecology, along with certifications as a TRUE Advisor and Permaculture Designer. Food and community have always been my guiding stars, driving my dedication to creating lasting, positive change.
