I work at the intersection of environmental sustainability, education and technology to bring better understanding about the world and help make better decisions. I have worked with several social benefit organizations including The Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, The Green Guide for Health Care, Citizen Schools, Small Planet Institute, Austin Eco Network, and currently Open Learning Exchange.
I want people to have the tools to understand how their actions effect themselves and the world around them so that we can increase the health and diversity earth's ecosystems.
