I grew up in Arizona riding horses and hiking desert trails—spending most of my time outdoors. Those early experiences shaped how I see the environment: resilient, beautiful, and worth protecting. Visiting Pennsylvania every summer and learning about its forests and wildlife expanded that perspective and deepened my curiosity about ecosystems and regional impact.

Even in third grade, I was creating Earth Day posters about eco-friendly habits (and proudly winning the competition). What started as childhood interest became something much more intentional over time.

As a professional, I’ve pursued formal sustainability coursework, collaborated on ESG communications, and founded and led an environmental sustainability employee resource group within a global company. I’ve helped educate teams, support environmental initiatives, and communicate impact clearly and responsibly.

I believe environmental work deserves thoughtful communication—messaging that is honest, strategic, and grounded in real impact.

Supporting mission-driven organizations isn’t just professional for me. It’s personal.
