I am among a unique tapestry of leaders
protecting and preserving the beautiful, extraordinary outside world.
Uninterrupted, we embark on expeditions in nature
to have conversations with people, community, and friends
for a more secure future…
To hope for life, earth, and sustainability.
Over the past week and a half, I have been reflecting a lot about drafting a new vision for my next career steps, but when looking back to my vision board from 2019, my overall goals remain unchanged. Working together, cultivating friendships, creating a life of adventure, and protecting people and the planet for generations to come are still core values that I look forward to continuously strengthening in both my professional and personal life moving forward. During this next career shift, I am excited to find opportunities to balance realistic hopefulness, creativity, adventure, and joy while working toward systems change.
For the past two years, I have been doing research, providing education, and convening experts and advocates around climate mitigation solutions that provide proven benefits for adaptation, boosting human well-being, and contributing to poverty alleviation, particularly in Africa and South Asia.
In order to multi-solve for various problems that communities face, we know that climate action must be both collaborative and intersectional.

I have had the privilege of working alongside so many amazing colleagues, partners, and community members who advance justice not only in their work, but in their personal lives as well. From thought leaders, advocates, and teammates to activists and advisory council members, everyone has a unique role to play when it comes to climate action and justice.
