I spent 20 years leveraging business and finance to drive environmental stewardship and social impact, both domestically and internationally. My work spans sustainable land use, team building, values-based operations, and multi-stakeholder leadership. I lived in Nicaragua for 10 years, originally serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in sustainable agriculture and ending my stay as an exoneree. For over 5 years, I served as the Executive Director of a ~500-member church, advancing equity, reducing its carbon footprint, and aligning finances & operations with its values. I currently serve on the Board of the Cleantech Alliance and its JEDI Committee. I hold an MBA in Sustainable Business from Bainbridge Graduate Institute, and degrees in Zoology and Economics from the University of Washington.
