About

With over 24 years of experience in nonprofit management and environmental advocacy, I currently serve as the Senior Director of Global Programs at GAIA, where I lead international strategy to promote a zero-waste economy. My work encompasses advancing waste reduction, climate justice, and systemic change while focusing on fostering network resilience and the circular economy. At GAIA, I contribute to building organizational resilience, managing global teams, and advocating for policies that champion sustainable practices and protect communities and workers. My commitment to shifting global narratives from false solutions like waste incineration to impactful, community-centered approaches reflects my dedication to creating a sustainable and equitable future.
