Want to Invite Me to Speak, Teach a Class, or Lead a Workshop?
I specialize in intersectional environmentalism, nature art, climate justice, eco-poetry, and explorations of interconnection and land ethics. Send me over an email if you’d like to discuss further! I teach classes, lead workshops, do poetry readings and public speaking, and among other things, host nature-centered events.
