Public-interest stewardship
Connecting natural resource work to community benefit, practical implementation, and long-term care.
About
A conservation professional with a systems view.
My path has moved across natural resources, conservation, GIS, Tribal stewardship, field research, working lands, and public-interest project management.
Across ecosystems and land use types.
I do not see forestry, agriculture, water, transportation landscapes, public lands, private lands, and Tribal homelands as separate lanes. I see them as connected parts of the same stewardship system.
Conservation work depends on people: agency staff, Tribal governments, landowners, producers, researchers, planners, funders, and communities working through complex decisions together.
My work is aligned with conservation that moves across jurisdictions, landscapes, and communities, especially through public service, Tribal consultation and engagement, GIS and decision support, interagency coordination, public communication, grants, planning, and implementation.
Agriculture and applied economics
My undergraduate background in agricultural and applied economics, including HECUA Sustainable Agriculture in Italy, helps me understand stewardship through working landscapes, markets, public programs, and producer decision-making.
Field and technical grounding
Forestry, GIS, remote sensing, field research, and conservation finance have given me practical tools for understanding landscapes and supporting implementation.
Engagement and translation
I enjoy translating complex topics for different audiences, including agency staff, Tribal partners, community members, technical teams, and funders.
Connected landscapes
Stewardship across ecosystems and land use types.
My work is shaped by forests, watersheds, working lands, coastal places, dryland ecosystems, and the communities connected to them.
