About

I work for Greenbelt Alliance as their Sonoma-Marin Field Representative. I organize local communities and advocate with local decision-makers for open space and farmland protection and planning for healthier, vibrant urban communities.

Previous jobs included: advocating for federal funding for research on sustainable agriculture; developing a community input process for a small rural town in an area of natural gas drilling; developing a "green" development plan for a small-craft public airport; designing a natural resource management plan for indigenous lands in Chile.

My interests are primarily around empowering communities to become better connected, healthier, cleaner, greener, and balanced. I am interested in looking at consumption patterns, patterns of development, the psychology of how people relate to the land and natural resources, and innovative ways to get people out of their current patterns and into new patterns that respect the earth more.

I love to hike, backpack, rock climb, bicycle through urban and rural areas, and get people together for fun, interactive artistic events.
