What I care about

Community-building for new partnerships matters to me, because our happiness and growth depend on collaborations.

How I connect to the D^3 Mission

In 2020, I co-founded the Ecology Learning Center, then co-produced a Shark Tank style pitch tv show for environmental businesses across Maine and coached entrepreneurs on how to pitch to investors for scaling innovative solutions.
