With fifteen years of experience in the non-profit and photography industries, I've dedicated my life's work to the convergence of art and science, inspiring action through meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.
Born into a family of professional creatives, I embarked on a career as a professional snow sports photographer where I witnessed the devastating effects of climate change – shorter winters and receding glaciers – igniting a nearly two-decade commitment to climate advocacy. As an environmentalist, I spearheaded educational campaigns at Protect Our Winters, traveling across America to educate students about climate change and policy solutions. In 2018, I co-founded Plastic Free Fridays, a movement that empowers individuals against single-use plastics.
I recently finished my masters degree at Harvard, where I studied increasing the accessibility of environmental action through media. During my time in graduate school, I studied the potential of digital media to build researcher-Gen Z alliances. My work contributed to a groundbreaking study published in Open Science Framework and featured in The New York Times. This experience solidified my understanding of how innovative communication strategies can bridge the gap between science and the public.
Outside of my commercial work, I am a co-founder of the Plastic Free Fridays movement, an ambassador for Conservation International, Surfrider Foundation, and Protect Our Winters, a board member for Tree People and the Environmental Media Association, and an active member of The Explorers Club.
