My work sits at the intersection where brand strategy meets impact: developing messaging, campaigns, and programs that help organizations grow with integrity and conscience. I've collaborated with C-suite leaders and founders to drive both engagement and long-term industry leadership, whether that's as a consultant, on specific projects, or as a fractional sustainability lead.
I've acted as an advisor to several brands in the clean beauty + hospitality space, and take on ad-hoc consulting and creative production projects. I'm also a member of The Explorers Club.
I hold a Masters degree from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and a B.A. in Environmental Policy from Colorado College. My graduate school research focused on integrating biodiversity considerations into sustainability roadmaps. And yes, I blame both of these institutions for normalizing a car that acts more like a gear closet than anything.
My career trajectory is delightfully abnormal, which means I've landed in a space of specialized expertise with a macro understanding of operational systems that govern late-stage capitalism, complex media projects, and environmental work — with a particular obsession for how ocean health and climate resilience intersect with business strategy. This perspective comes from working everywhere from corporate strategy sessions to remote field sites.
When I'm craving inspiration, I move my operation to Remi Durango, my '07 Sprinter, and camp out somewhere real pretty. When I'm craving stability and community, I return to Encinitas, California — my idyllic coastal nook.
