I'm excited about making a global impact through circular economy solutions!
Background
I grew up in an urban sprawl, concrete environment and only began to understand and appreciate nature when I started surfing in high school. That love for surfing shaped the rest of my academic pursuit (and life!), from earning a BA in geography and Spanish at UC Santa Barbara to a master’s degree in sustainability at the University of Cape Town. My master’s research explored key barriers and success factors for integrating sustainability practices into major surfing events, comparing the contexts of the Global North with the Global South. I believe events have an incredibly meaningful role in society and serve as a powerful platform to catalyze positive behavior change towards sustainability. I truly enjoyed the integration of research with real people and real problem solving from multiple geographic perspectives.

I'm a big proponent of Think Global, Act Local. I'm always curious about what sustainability means for different people in different places. My goal is to continue to build a career that enables me maximize the positive impact I can make as a single human being during my time here on this planet. I am usually battling my eco-anxiety and non-stop productive sense of urgency with my inner wisdom that it's okay to relax and enjoy the world, too. It's a privileged place to be, I'm grateful, and I have fun. =)
