I am the Urban Program Director at The Nature Conservancy in Washington, where I get to work collaboratively with those on the ground to increase access to nature for the health and well-being of people and communities. I figure out ways to integrate the priorities of these partners into our larger work.
Before I came to TNC, I worked with the Duwamish River Cleanup Coalition / TAG and Sustainable Seattle, building collaborative and equitable partnerships, implementing community-based and designed projects and effectively engaging our urban communities in projects from idea to action. Though I might be a transplant to the Pacific Northwest, it now has my heart — the beautiful city parks, the neighborhoods full of life and good food, and the diversity of landscapes to escape in.
