ABOUT ME
This last October, I turned 28 years old. With this birthday I was gifted a milestone marked by a newfound clarity of purpose. This website is dedicated to my journey as an environmentalist and advocate of Planet Earth, or Gaia as I know her.
Throughout my career, I’ve been deeply committed to safeguarding biodiversity and protecting vulnerable communities from climate change. My experiences have illuminated the crucial interplay between the music industry as unique space for creative expression connected to creating social change, and the ripe need for a fresh approach to creating a paradigm shift towards more harmonious life on Earth.
From grassroots activism with Earth Guardians to policy-focused lobbying with the Climate Reality Project, I’ve honed my skills in building bridges between diverse communities. My time with CU Boulder student government and Boulder County’s OSCAR further solidified my understanding of the complex relationship between environmental issues and social justice. By fostering strong relationships and effective communication, I’ve been able to mobilize communities and drive impactful solutions.
As someone who grew up on the outskirts of a wildlife preserves, I have had nature as the backdrop to some of the most pivotal moments of my life, and it is because of this and my overall deep rooted connection with Nature that I believe I feel so clear and sure that THIS is where I am meant to be, and this is what I am meant to be doing.

My story really began when I took a role as a social media coordinator with a volunteer group called Giving in Paris, providing humanitarian aid to Syrian refugee’s in Paris, France in 2017. What began with taking pictures and advocating for basic human rights for these refugees, later turned into organizing the largest protest I have ever been a part of. It was through this venture that I realized the collective power of individuals to influence systemic change.
After moving from France to Colorado, I quickly got to work with as many local organizations as I could. Volunteering mostly with a group called Earth Guardians, I was able to take my first steps towards leadership in the sustainability field. From mentoring grade-school chapters of the group to delivering speeches at conferences, it was clear to me what my reason for being on this planet was. My efforts led me to move from just organizing protests to actually working with lobbyist groups like Al Gore’s Climate Reality Project, where I was able to further hone my knowledge on how to influence policy and make lasting change.

Drawn to Colorado for it’s stunning natural landscapes, I was further captivated by the University of Colorado Boulder’s strong commitment to environmental leadership. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Environmental Studies in 2022 and am currently pursuing a Master’s in the Environment with a focus on public policy. Throughout my time I have had my fair share of impacting campus policy, working with student government, as well as working for the universits esteemed Environmental Center.
After joining the office’s director on a panel discussion about climate resiliency as part of CU’s Climate on World Affairs, she instantly saw my potential and hired me for a 1-year fellowship with the office.
In that time, I helped implement important climate policies around the community, sharpened my community engagement skills, brought to the table innovative solutions (including helping co-create the Climate Policy Action Leadership collaborative, or CPAL) as well as contributed to regenerative agriculture fundraising and grant oversight initiatives.

Driven by my unwavering passions, I realized that my undergrad education was insufficient to fully realize my destiny. To bridge this gap and equip myself with the necessary tools to effect lasting change, I made a decision to apply to the University of Colorado Boulder’s Masters of the Environment program.
This program, with my focus being on public policy and leadership, aligns perfectly with my vision of a sustainable future. By immersing myself in this rigorous academic environment, I am confident in my ability to further become a powerful advocate for our planet and its inhabitants.
