i started and ran a digital food media company (spoon university) for 5 years out of college. it was a unique model where we built communities on 300 college campuses worldwide, connecting students with a passion for food and empowering leaders to build teams of writers, editors, photographers, event planners, etc. to share local and nationally relevant info on food. i am now launching groundwork, an educational company dedicated to teaching people life skills, through a permaculture lens, starting with growing your own food. i'm building a retreat center / permaculture farm along lake atitlan and have a home in CO where i will be hosting some permaculture retreats as well. i am naturally a very creative person and am best when in a leadership role, visioning, orchestrating, coordinating, and sharing my passion for the cause with stakeholders.
