About

My undergraduate studies were in Natural Resource Management with an emphasis on Forest Ecology and restoration. This was a large part of my career until my return to further my education. I am currently pursuing an M.A. in Global Sustainability Policy with a Graduate Certificate in Climate Change Adaptation and Mitigation. I am attending an additional Certification in Religion, Conflict, and Peace studies via Harvard edX. I also serve as an Ambassador of Peace and Ambassador of Sustainability with two non-profits based internationally.
