I'm first and foremost a mom. I also see myself as a parent to youth of the world, wanting them all to not only survive living a healthy and happy life but to self-actualize. I imagine a world where adults care for all youth as though they are their own children. What a world it would be with a generation developing as empathetic leaders. This shapes what I do and WHY I do it. I'm a visionary and social entrepreneur utilizing my experience in creating and executing real-world based interdisciplinary alternative education and in practicing law in my role as Founding Director of Heirs To Our Ocean (H2OO). Youth engagement and empowerment, alternative education, public speaking, project management, and youth leadership summit planning, organization and execution are some skills I'm thrilled every day to share with H2OO.
