About
me
It’s hard to believe that I have lived my entire life half-asleep without a real understanding of the planetary damage caused by our post-industrial way of life.
My eco-awakening happened while hiking through the Corcovado rainforest, Costa Rica in December 2022. I came home and immediately signed up for the 100+ hour, 12 week Terra.do climate education program. Once I started to understand the scope of the climate crisis, I couldn’t unhear it.
From banker to product manager to co-founder, my innovation playbook captures a diverse set of strategies, tools and best practices, all focused on elevating people, products and organizations to unlock their full potential.
I am excited to help climate founders shape the human experience around their ideas. Please reach out if you’re looking to amplify your focus on crafting strategies, hypotheses, and experiments to support adoption, growth and scale.

- truly observe the world around you...talk less, look and listen more.
- SAVOR THE SURPRISES....what insights caught you off-guard?
- dream big and start walking towards THE OUTCOME YOU WANT...one experiment at a time.

If trees had voices
to share their wisdom
what might they say?
What stories would
they tell about the
gravity of today?
The Earth, my dears,
is sick, and our collective
future is starting to fray
The symphony of
notes is unraveling
into alarming decay
As global temperature
climbs to levels that are
impossible to disregard
Humans are waking up
to the impact of climate
change in their backyard
Enough. Of shifting
fault or pointing
fingers of blame
It’s time to speak up,
make noise, art, fund,
innovate, reclaim
our relationship to the
land, air, water and all the
systems that connect
Every car, home, meal,
purchase, trip, farm,
adds to the overall effect
The arc of history captures
the destiny of species,
the trees echo in rhyme
Can we come together
to solve our own
life-sucking crime?
