What's good? 👊🏽

I'm a social entrepreneur working at the intersection of youth development and local economy in various capacities – as a nonprofit leader, education consultant, and small food business owner ☕️.

I'm passionate about modeling creative approaches to work and life and helping young people discover the possibilities available to them. I'm also "local-first" and deeply committed to my change work taking place in my home community in the IE.

Food often shows up in my writing and work. I was born into the business and have worked in back-of-the-house environments throughout my life. How food, work, people, and stories collide is a narrative interest of mine.

Writing helps me navigate a myriad of roles and identities – past, present, public, and private – to discover unique points of connection and avenues for impact.
