The doughnut economy is a source of inspiration for my teaching! I hope this community helps me to answer the questions I'm constantly asking myself: How can we train managers who are more embodied and more concerned with ethics? How can we make future managers aware that it is possible to move away from individualism and competition towards the collective interest in the business world?

I am a passionate advocate for the environment, driven by a profound love for ecology, nature, biodiversity, and animals. I consider myself fortunate to be part of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, where I can contribute my skills and knowledge to a community that is committed to transforming how we live and work on this planet. In my efforts to marry my passion for the environment with my hands-on experience, I have volunteered with several forward-thinking organizations. One of my notable contributions has been to the Georgia Mountain Falconry Manual, where I worked to integrate ecological principles into practice. I've also been fortunate to work with the Ecological Society of Australia, helping to champion research and management that enhance ecological outcomes in a time of dramatic global environmental change. My commitment to addressing climate change led me to volunteer briefly with the Citizens Climate Lobby. This experience allowed me to understand the power of individuals and collective advocacy in pushing for essential policy changes. As I continue my studies in Artificial Intelligence at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, I am constantly exploring how this cutting-edge field can intersect with sustainability and ecological goals. I believe that technological advancement can go hand in hand with environmental stewardship, and I am excited by the potential that AI holds in driving sustainable solutions. My interest extends to concepts like sustainability and degrowth, which challenge traditional economic paradigms and offer the promise of a balanced, equitable, and sustainable society. I am excited by the transformative potential of these ideas and their ability to help us imagine and create a world that values and protects ecological systems while ensuring human prosperity. As an active member of the Doughnut Economics Action Lab, I am eager to contribute to rethinking our global economic model. My hope is to leverage my unique combination of skills and interests to promote an economy that respects planetary boundaries, nurtures all forms of life, and allows future generations to thrive.

My enchantment and fascination with the natural world began early with a love of animals, who I saw as ambassadors for other worlds. When I was 17, an extended hiking trip in the Wind Rivers of Wyoming sealed the deal. I teach lecture-based and experiential learning courses on sustainability, environmental ethics, ecological integrity, resilience theory, environmental psychology, and transformational learning at various Universities in the Twin Cities. I live in Mahtomedi with my three delightful children and two overly enthusiastic dogs. I consider my house one big art project, and I love to cook and entertain. Curious minds are always welcome at my table. Come say hello!
