Activist, Brainstormer, Change Agent, Connector, Environmentalist, Event planner, Explorer, Idea generator, Project manager, World traveler

Passionate educator and organizer of events. I am inspired by the community in the Puget Sound Region and look forward to creating a space for them to share their experiences. 15+ years in program management, outdoor education, non-traditional educational modalities and access for everyone. Lover of live music, exploring the woods with my 6 year old son and leaning into "dad jokes". I firmly believe that we as a society are better when we work together, eat together and listen to each other. In a previous life stage, I took people hiking uphill and downhill in the grand canyon as well as on boats down the river. My passion for wilderness is born out of experiencing the value it holds. Everyone deserves a chance to see that.

Everyone wants to do well in their lives, some people just don't get the chance to use the tools that can help them get there
