About

As a registered Landscape Architect, I see that historical policy, planning, and design decisions have led to deep environmental and social injustice which are only exacerbated by climate change. It does not need to be that way. I have devoted my career to working collaboratively with diverse interests to develop integrated projects, plans, programs, and policies that work with our natural systems to improve climate resilience, increase biodiversity, and address systemic inequities.


My 10+ years of experience, passion, and results focused approach has allowed me to work effectively in fast paced non-profit and for-profit environments with multiple competing interests to implement win-win solutions. I am adept at developing long term strategic visions as well as actionable near term solutions rooted in core values and the mission of the organizations I serve.
