Over the last five years, I have managed multiple businesses and developed a wide range projects and teams both na- tionally and internationally. I strive to work within businesses whose mission is to provide a service or product which pos- itively impacts people and/or the environment. To put it simply, I help businesses better help others. Moving backwards from the consumer/customer, I support cross functional teams by establishing internal systems that scale. Leveraging my Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences background with business management acumen has enabled me to support companies who are focused on sustainable and eco-friendly business models. Making a positive impact on the world is my highest intention for my career.
