I am a passionate advocate for regenerative soil practices, conscious land stewardship, and sustainable food systems. I carry years of experience under my nails creating gardens, working the fields, propagating plants, saving seeds, shepherding microbes, brewing plant medicines and providing fresh nutritious food to my community.

Since childhood I lived in several continents and traveled extensively, gaining exposure to different ecological systems and ways in which humans interact with them.
After coming of age in urban environments my heart led me to life in the country. An enchanted decade in Vermont allowed me to be immersed in the full and colorful spectrum of organic farming, grassroots farmers markets and urban permaculture experiments. From the forests of New England I moved to the Big Island of Hawaii, where I got to work with both established and budding communities and cultivated my skills in Korean Natural Farming, JADAM, tropical permaculture design and plant medicines. With dedication and enthusiasm I pursued studies in various lineages with renowned leaders of their crafts, including Master Cho- creator of Korean Natural Farming, Chris Trump of Biomei Natural Farming Solutions, Mark Krawczyk of Keyline Design, Andrew Faust of the Center For Bioregional Living and Logan Silsly of the Haile Selassie School of Natural Farming and Higher Education. Attending a workshop with Vandana Shiva was a significant highlight my journey as well.
