My work at OAEC:
I help communicate OAEC’s work and vision to the broader world, spreading learnings about resilient communities and furthering the mission of building a just and sustainable future.
My background:
I was born in Sacramento and raised mostly in Napa, California. I love using my digital marketing and communication skills to support organizations I’m passionate about.
My passions:
I’m often on or in water–swimming, surfing, rowing, rafting. I also enjoy running, seeing live music with friends, traveling, and visiting galleries and museums.
My favorite resiliency resource:
Outdoor yoga at Baker Beach in San Francisco.
What I obsess about:
Words, grammar, broken website code.
The best advice I ever received was:
It’s important to make a fool of yourself every once in a while.
