Interdisciplinary in thought and experience, I specialize and find value in crafting meaningful stories that can influence the world to become more environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable. In addition to completing a Masters of Science in Urban and Regional Planning with a focus on sustainable development and environmental planning, I have produced storytelling messages for robotics companies, clean-tech incubators, universities and NGOs.
