Background
Studying ecology, facilitation and leadership development through my Bachelor of Sciences in Outdoor Recreation Administration at San Diego State University after relocating from the San Francisco Bay Area, I am a lifelong lover of nature and people. I have followed my undergraduate degree with many certificate programs, courses, and applied learning, professional and personal projects.
With interest in agroecology, sustainability education, and the benefits of traditional and nature-based arts and recreation, I draw from a holistic, integrative worldview that seeks to inspire others to recognize meaningful synergy between their passions and projects.
Please visit my LinkedIn profile to learn more about my experience and qualifications. I offer my services on a sliding scale via hourly, daily and project-based rates.

- Slow Food URBAN San Diego, Ark of Taste Chair (2018-19)
- Slow Food is a global, grassroots organization, founded in 1989 to prevent the disappearance of local food cultures and traditions, counteract the rise of fast life and combat people's dwindling interest in the food they eat, where it comes from and how our food choices affect the world around us. The Ark of Taste is a living catalog of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction, and is a tool for farmers, ranchers, fishers, chefs, grocers, educators and consumers to seek out and celebrate our country’s diverse biological, cultural and culinary heritage.
