Why do you value Five Rivers? I value Five Rivers for its local, hands-on stewardship led by passionate people committed to preserving the special places that make this region unique.

How does your day job intersect with your volunteer responsibilities at Five Rivers? As an executive leadership and team coach, I champion the best in people while helping them navigate growth and possibility. At Five Rivers, I will bring that same lens—encouraging curiosity, collaboration, and potential in our shared conservation mission.

What do you hope you can bring to the Board of Trustees? As a recent full-time resident (since 2024), I hope to offer a fresh perspective alongside four decades of volunteer fieldwork in restoration and conservation.

What’s your favorite thing about living in the greater Capital Region? Concord is a vibrant home base, with access to incredible outdoor opportunities, a front-row seat to local civic life, and a thoughtful, engaged community.

What’s your favorite thing to do outdoors? I love active adventures like hiking, biking, and skiing, balanced with slower, restorative rhythms—like daily walks and quiet “sit spots” in the woods to connect with the natural world.
