While I have grown up with an appreciation for and a desire to protect and conserve nature, Wild Gift fostered a stronger understanding of the varied approaches to sustainability and conservation (just look at the types of projects Wild Gift alums are doing!). Wild Gift continues to make a strong impression on me and I am ever grateful for my time as an inaugural member of Wild Gift.
My Story:
After my Wild Gift Alaska treks of 2002 & 03, I completed a Masters Program in environmental studies at Duke University with an emphasis on sustainable tourism. I am currently an Associate in Blue Earth Consultants, a small environmental consulting firm based in Oakland, CA. My firm specializes in
- Monitoring and Evaluation, Performance Enhancement
- Funding and Financing
- Strategic and Business Planning
- Science Integration
- Next/Best Practices
Prior to joining Blue Earth Consultants, I was the Environmental Planner for the Territory of American Samoa with the Dept. of Commerce’s Coastal Management Program. I was tasked with improving the quality of the coastal zone, assessing land use permits, and promoting environmental stewardship.
