As a transdisciplinary scholar, teacher, and facilitator, I synthesize perspectives from multiple disciplines and resources to better understand how we can foster collaborative, resilient, and inclusive leadership.I am an eco-cultural restorationist, dedicated to engaging with others on projects that restore our connections to each other, our cultures, and our natural world. I am an experienced community-builder, motivated to create spaces of belonging.
In my work as a faculty member in the Nicholas School of the Environment, I train my students to develop a powerful sense of purpose for change. I empower them to explore their values, interests, and strengths, while giving them practical skills in communications and community engagement.
I regularly consult with communications professionals across nonprofit, private, and government sectors to develop compelling communications strategies, with a clearly articulated vision. I facilitate conversations about resilience, well-being, climate anxiety, and hope, inspired by my students, colleagues and community partners.
