I provide leadership, a clear process and next steps while ensuring all perspectives are integrated along the way. I follow emergent design principles and orient myself as being in service to the group.

I’ve led multi-day workshops, planned conferences, been a keynote speaker and guided events as the MC. I bring warmth, humor and adaptability to my approach.

I integrate best practices and frameworks into programming. I specifically center on social emotional, culturally responsive and place-based practices and pedagogy. My sweet spot is garden, food and farm based education.

I am well versed in cultivating philanthropic partnerships with a focus on building a narrative, communicating strategy and goals. I nurture relationships with sincerity, warmth and candor.

I believe that collaboration is key to making long-term change. I love connecting people and identifying the resources that already exist to prevent reinventing the wheel. And if it doesn’t exist, let’s create it together!
