I’Impact entrepreneur, creator, cultural connector & yogi

passionate about regeneration, technology and wellness

My Mission

I am on a pursuit to build bridges of understanding between emerging technologies and the regeneration movement.

I have a passion for an open and equitable world through mindful use of digital tech. I believe in the importance of connecting with nature and self. I write about, teach, build partnerships and manage projects around the regenerative finance (ReFi) movement.

The goal of my work is to tell stories of regeneration, help to see the interconnectedness of all things and infuse human touch in tech.
