Let’s #DoTheScaryThings
I am a creative problem solver and my passion is in community, STEM education, and climate tech (conservation, agriculture, and renewables). I believe in using technology and data science to make better decisions for our planet.
I was born in Brooklyn, New York but I spent my early childhood years in Guangzhou, China with my grandparents; my culture is a big part of who I am! So far I’ve had the opportunity to experience the cultures and wild places of 14+ countries, from camping in the Sahara to living the Buddhist monastic lifestyle on a mountain.
After a decade+ of globetrotting, I became the designer of my own life and I am drawn to the concept of intentional living, with a focus in minimalism, circularity, and self-sufficiency. One day I’d like to build a tiny home, grow my own food, and live off-grid!
“A self-starter—curious about the world, research-focused, a careful listener, organized planner, creative and collaborative problem solver… And she also stands firm and confident in her abilities to take on new challenges, dedicate time and effort to learn and listen, and consistently looks at life as an awesome adventure. “
