Skills
Summary
I make connections – among ideas, people, organizations, and projects. I believe that creativity and solutions are found at boundaries and interstices, and enjoy exploring those areas. I am a synthetic thinker and take the time to understand the broader context in which problems and projects are situated. My extensive experience in program development and management, ocean climate change, equity and justice issues, policy, and strategic planning gives me a solid platform for engaging in different conservation, food, and justice initiatives, all topics to which I am deeply committed – and enjoy working on.
