ABOUT ME

I am an environmental and sustainability expert, consultant, environmental planner, nature lover, lifelong learner, asker of questions, thinker, challenger, critic, writer, curator, producer, editor, advocate, and activist.
I am physically based in Helsinki. I have previously lived in Evenstad, Ekenäs, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Oulunsalo, Ranua, Western North Dakota, and Central Minnesota.
MISSION & VALUES
Thriving life for all, within planetary boundaries. I envision a world that is ecologically sound and socially just and am working to get us there.
I am guided by intersectional feminism, nonoppression, decolonization, and deep ecology, both in my work and practice.
I have an insatiable curiosity. One of my biggest motivations is and always has been learning. My advanced education and professional training thus far have been on two continents in six countries with nine institutions.
Transdisciplinarity is integral to my approach, having been educated in disciplines as diverse as human relations, ecology, atmospheric sciences, climate change, performance poetry, economics, political science, urban studies, sociology, philosophy, law, biology, chemistry, anthropology, geography, mathematics, literature, water management, EIA, and more.
