About
I study the broader topic of climate justice, which includes social, environmental, racial and economic justice. My interests vary in many areas impacted by climate change. In terms of climate action, I am interested in the impacts that governmental policy, business and civil society have to scale change. I am also interested in sustainability regarding development, food, and activism. I spend my extra time mentoring people involved in climate justice work, alongside climate wellness coaching for people who face burnout or paralyzing climate emotions.
I teach courses in environmental science, sustainability, leadership, food policy, and planning along with a variety of PE courses.
