I am frequently inspired to create events or sustainability programs that will benefit the communities in which I live and work. My practical mindset allows me to identify the steps required to bring those programs to life, and as a passionate, articulate educator and environmentalist, I enjoy rallying teams, putting plans in motion and managing projects through to completion. As our planet continues to experience global warming, I am motivated to use my innate teaching skills to educate communities and companies about zero waste initiatives, the benefits those programs can offer, and how I can assist them in getting started. I’m also interested in initiatives related to the economy, social relationships, and culture bridging. I engage others with a positive outlook and adapt easily to a wide variety of personalities and situations due to frequent cross-cultural interactions.
