Communication and collaboration are the key to conservation and resilience. I have broad and deep ties to the private sector and to environmental activists, recently completed an MS in Sustainability from Columbia University, and am an experienced business manager as well as empathetic relationship manager. I am deeply embedded in social media, can convey messaging in relatable language through the appropriate platforms, and I’m expert at strategy, public relations, and community relations. I’m a highly skilled liaison between the stakeholders, government agencies, non-profits, academia, and business.
