I bring nature to the center of sustainable development. My recent projects and reports focus on agroforestry, forest conservation, and regenerative organic agriculture (portfolio here: meredithbeatonportfolio.wordpress.com).As a systems thinker, I believe in both local and global action and advocate for sustainable development frameworks that integrate culture and gender lenses. I am at my best when working in a team context towards a mission of healing people and the planet. I lead with command, innovation, and adaptability to reach strategic goals. With professional expertise in technical writing, partnership development, communications, and research, I bring foundational skills to teams creating systems change. Driven by my strengths, I develop people into their very best and turn ideas into movements.
