Hello

I proposed my first community development project idea early in 2015. My goal was to improve my local forest land and provide opportunities to involve the local community. I presented the idea to a state official and after the project didn't materialize I shifted paths. Having the ability to come full circle to see this work come to fruition almost a decade later motivates me to keep going. I see a world where individuals can redefine their purpose by making a difference in their local communities as key path moving forward. I value projects that incorporate multiple goals and steps to reach their overall focus. No solution will come easy when addressing the wicked problems like food insecurity and climate change, so let's get creative!
