Born in Bothell, WA…I was raised with a strong connection to the environment spending summers and winters in the great outdoors of the Northwest with my family. For the last four years I have been living in India and working at the helm of the Vaayu Project with my partner Rahul Malaney in Ashwem. I received a Master in Peace Studies from the Kroc Institute of Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego. I specialised in Human Rights and Development with a sub focus in Environmental Issues that relate to the two regionally specific to India. I believe that through the power of the individual we can all make little changes in our daily habits that lead to big changes in the world, leading us into a bigger and brighter future.
