About

Born and raised in Minnesota, wilderness played a part in my life with annual canoe trips in the largest wilderness area in the country- the Boundary Waters Canoe Area. Ethics concerning our environment have had an effect on my consciousness since a young age, and influenced my value system. Studying environmental studies & peace studies in college gave me a broad, interdisciplinary approach in my perspective. I am interested in many aspects of sustainability related to individuals and communities. I'm always finding new connections between aspects of our lives and our world. Among other activities, I have studied peace, restored prairies and riparian areas, interned on organic and biodynamic farms, gardened, taught environmental education, mentored youth and have worked with students with severe violence issues.

My career goals likely include more schooling in the area of social work or psychology, with hopes of creating violence prevention programs, as well as cultivating sustainable growing systems on the side. Organic psychology particularly interests me. Meanwhile, I enjoy learning about sustainability as it applies to so many aspects of our lives and sharing solutions to reduce our impact on the planet. Living in the Portland area has given me many opportunities to connect with people on this same wavelength. Seeking mentors continually is a goal of mine which I intend to continue throughout my life, and I hope to mentor others in the future as well. I'm thankful for the postitive mentors (including friends and family) who have shaped my life and who influenced my view of the world, which is always evolving.

Hello Christine,

We're neighbors! I live in Scotts Mills, an hour south of Gresham. Let's do some networking, and I can introduce you to many folkks in the Portland Metro area who share your common aspirations!

Warmly....Hank
