I am an optimist who believes that collaboration is key to accomplishing any goal, no matter the challenges. In my current role as Conservation Manager at Mt. Grace Land Trust, I have the privilege of working to make the natural environment more accessible to all, while empowering communities to engage with and protect the land.I have a background in leadership, education, and nonprofit management, where my focus has always been on developing future leaders and finding innovative solutions. Currently, I teach special education, which allows me to directly shape the next generation, while my role at Mt. Grace has me working to build sustainable, inclusive spaces.My family has recently returned from an adventure living and learning in Nicaragua, and we’ve now settled in Orange, MA. Watching my children grow up surrounded by new cultures and experiences is something I will always treasure.I’m always looking to connect with socially-minded organizations whose missions resonate with my values. My leadership skills are grounded in decades of experience, and I’m eager to contribute my expertise to causes that matter.
