My theory of change asks that the work of justice begins with bringing my whole self, and that I continually cultivate and hold myself accountable in order to bring these values into my work. My work tackles the spatial and infrastructural impacts of a changing climate and rapidly emerging technologies. I am dedicated to accelerating the implementation just processes and actions designed by and for communities at the margins.
