I grew up in the forest.

 

These early nature centered experiences imprinted a deep love and respect for Mother Earth, and a strong desire to explore the world creating friendships and growing through unique adventures in the wild. 

 

I took off in my 20's, becoming a StartingBloc social innovation Fellow, and an alumnus of the Designing for Social Innovation and Leadership and Rockwood Art of Leadership programs. Through these experiences, I learned that evolution comes through liberated spaces, transformational action, and is best when rooted in matriarchial leadership and community building.

​

A lifetime learner always curious to explore new perspectives in our digital age, in my 30's I became a Teaching Lead at IDEO-U, an online school where leaders can unlock their creative potential and build their problem-solving skills. In 2023 I explored experiential education further through a virtual fellowship in Ritual Design through the Ritual Lab, where I experimented with designing playful, nature-centred experiences with an all-female-cohort based across 3 continents.

Over the past 15 years I've led the organization of the logistics for a refugee resettlement program to redesigned business processes at a global environmental organization, designed and marketed the brand of a start-up ecolodge company, and opened an innovation lab at the world's largest non-profit before finding my way here to the Rockies.

 

Today, I am based on the Front Range of Colorado. My career continues to grow and evolve, inspired by my time with forests, mountains, and oceans. An active community member on the Advisory Board for the SXSW Pitch competition, in 2024 I expanded my footprint within the conference tracks by producing and speaking in a SXSW Interactive Design session Matriarch-Centered Design.
