Nature plays an integral role not just in my work but also in my entire life. I think that one of the most profound moments in my life was when I went to Glacier National Park (still my favorite national parks) with my family and I was in awe of just everything. From the mountain peaks to the peaceful Lake MacDonald, I felt moved beyond words.

My dedication and advocating for nature came during the COVID-19 pandemic. During that time, I was glued to the news where I would read all the good and bad things that was happening in society. One of the most riveting news articles that I read that changed the whole trajectory of my life was an article that stated how nature was thriving from the lockdown because there was little human activity. This made me realize that if we, humans, are to fully live out our best lives on Earth, we must learn to appreciate and do the work to conserve Earth.

With that, I quit my full-time job to pursue a college degree(s) that would help me gain the academic knowledge and resources to help educate people in how humans can co-exist with Earth. Through my academic journey, I have come to learn that there really is no right way and that it’s tough to educate people about such a topic because we have been programmed to support capitalism, colonialism, and individualism. However, I create educational work for myself to remind others that we need to fight for Nature because we are the ones who benefit most from its abundance. I hope that throughout my ever-changing and revolutionary creative advocacy work, I can inspire you to feel yourself being present in the glorious presence of nature.
