About me

I am neurospicy (Complex PTSD and autism). Things I Wish I’d Said is my first novel, however, I have plans for more. I love music, learning, reading, exploring new places, walking in nature, science fiction, photography, animals, cooking, baking, and dancing, not necessarily in that order.

Professionally, I have synergized my BS (Biology) with an MS (Educational Psychology and Counseling) to enhance my PhD in Policy and Planning (Environmental) specialty. I have written a book chapter, a number of research reports, and contributed to journal articles. In addition to writing, I have taught topics in sustainability and resource management, planning, sociology, and geography in the US, UK, and Australia, as well as developing community education materials, primarily focused on climate change resilience, sustainability, and community empowerment. My next work project is CA:TMaPS (Complex Adaptations: Transdisciplinary Management and Planning Strategies), aimed at empowering teams addressing social and environmental challenges by incorporating an understanding of complex adaptive systems in their policy planning and delivery processes.
