SACRA LLC is a business that I started to fill a necessary role to create scalable, cost effective, wholistic, intimate, and impactful environmental assessments of regenerative farms and conservation landscapes. As the founding member of SACRA I act as a creative entreprenuer, imagining, studying, and implementing scientifically sound environmental monitoring solutions at scale. I work on the ground in a variety of diverse vegetated environments immersed in nature to both design and carry out field experiments taylored to the projects objectives. I quanitfy environmental variables such as biomass carbon, soil carbon, insect diversity, bird diversity, and water quality. In addition to enironmental analysis, SACRA creates captivating videography to tell the stories of regenerative producers and conservation projects in an intimate way. I am constantly innovating and creating new ways of both collecting envrionmental data and displaying it in a captivating way to grab the attention of a larger audience and help landmanagers visualize and manage their landscape more efficiently.
