By a stroke of luck, I became an accidental journalist — and a student once again. Along the way, I’ve had the immense privilege of interviewing some of the greats; individuals whose work continues to shape our world in both visible and subtle ways. Among them: oceanographer Dr. Sylvia Earle, art curator Charles Adler, filmmaker Faine Pearl Loubser, sustainable fashion pioneer Tyler Cobian formerly of MATE the Label, and so many others whose voices deserve to be heard far and wide.
As a journalist, I’ve collected stories from around the world as a tribute to the people behind them. I aim to shine a light on the often-overlooked, deeply humbling experiences of both failure and triumph. At its heart, my question always wrestles two human complexities of our time: How did we get here? And where the hell are we going?

I’ve been fortunate to help curate and organize speaker panels bringing together storytellers and changemakers. Working alongside festivals like the Ohana Festival, Coast Summit at the Coast Film and Music Festival, 2024 Grain Re-Evolution, Blue, and the Ohana Festival Inspiring Activism Awards, these gatherings became much more than just events, they became spaces where dialogue and purpose converged.
This work has given me the rare privilege to witness and celebrate remarkable leaders like Dr. Sylvia Earle, Kristine Tompkins of Tompkins Conservation, and SeaLegacy’s Cristina Mittermeier and Paul Nicklen. Through spearheading event content production, I've helped bring passionate activists such as Captain Paul Watson, Mike Coots, Kimi Werner, Dr. Shireen Rahimi, and Dr. Chad Nelson Louis Psihoyos and so many others onto the stage, to share the importance their profound narratives.
When I’m not storytelling, I'm busy working with brands and organizations to shape meaningful content and strategy. This includes consulting on sustainability messaging, managing internal and external communications, and crafting environmental narratives. I’ve partnered with organizations like HP, Atlantic Packaging, the Rob Machado Foundation, and others to help bring their values to life through dynamic communication.
