Sustainability +
Social Impact

For over 10 years I worked in ecommerce and consumer product goods (CPGs) helping to design, produce, and sell everything from apparel to temporary tattoos. As I moved from sales to operations, I realized that I could cut costs by reducing things like packaging or by reusing material waste and turning it into new products. There was still a lot of waste and a lot of room for improvement. I wanted to do more.

I turned that feeling into action and made a career shift. Today, I work at the intersection of sustainability and communications. I try to be part of the solution each day by sharing stories, thoughts, and ideas that get people to take action to protect people and the planet.
