About

I am a solution-oriented consultant who helps environmental organizations build trust and connections through high-quality communication. I draw on 20 years of experience leading interdisciplinary teams as an environmental planner and researcher to translate technical information for lay and professional audiences, with expertise in ecological restoration and social-ecological resilience. Professional affiliations include the Tallgrass Prairie Center, the Health Effects Institute, Earth Insight, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Department of Agriculture, and more.

I help organizations whose mission is achieving a healthy balance between human activities and environmental stewardship. I approach my work with organizational, collaboration, listening, and writing skills grounded in curiosity and a passion for fostering social, cultural, and ecological resilience.

Outside of Work

When I’m not working, you can find me reading, cycling, attending live music concerts, and figuring out how to fit more native plants in my yard. I currently call Waterloo, Iowa home and have previously lived in Hawaii, Illinois, Nebraska, and South Dakota.
