I collaborate with community, academy, business, and other parters to mobilize diverse climate and sustainability knowledges, ways of being, and ways of doing in the world to grow brighter and more just futures for humanity.
Our histories, connections, and cultures influence our actions, beliefs and assumptions about the world. We are a result of where we have been, what we have experienced, and the people who have been central in our lives; and that it is through the transparency of these lived experiences that we come to know each other better, to trust, and to care to work collaboratively towards a better future. We grow a better future together, in ethical collaborations at varied scales.
