Fluent in French, English and Spanish, my path from Canada through the Czech Republic, Québec, California, France, Colombia, and Ireland is committed to the challenge of sustainable development at moments and in places where the post-carbon transformation tests the resilience of community.This commitment is founded on over sixteen years of interdisciplinary and experiential knowledge to link global food and energy security with regional planning initiatives. Significant advancements are being made by integrating telecommunications in health, education, finance, and agriculture. By expanding and deepening innovation to drive sustainable policy solutions through Open Science, Web, Culture, Government, Data, and Educational Resources — all backed by a global network of practitioners — a sustainable future is within our grasp.
