Listen
Head of Partnerships
Mill Valley, CA
Throughout my journey, I’ve sought to blend the beauty of the natural world with human potential, bringing together diverse voices to co-create a sustainable future. As a co-founder of Listen, alongside Aza Raskin, Eric Lohela, and Chris Larson, we are stewarding 14 acres in the Osa Peninsula into a space where nature and human innovation meet. Listen is a place of awe, inspiration, and a nexus for technology and conservation, where partnerships with conservation leaders are seeded to foster a new way of thinking about our relationship with the earth.
Before this, my work was centered on connecting people to larger purposes. As a national sales trainer for new managers at 3Degrees, I had the privilege of helping managers build cohesive teams capable of inspiring customers to embrace renewable energy. This work was about more than sales—it was about cultivating leadership that could spark real, lasting change.
My dedication to innovation and conservation extends into my role as a curator for Planet Home’s solutionist products. Planet Home’s mission, to make it easier for people to understand how they can positively impact the planet, is a reflection of my own desire to uplift voices that are changing the world. I co-hosted a weekly Clubhouse room, interviewing these solutionist founders, each conversation a spark of hope and possibility.
The thread running through all my endeavors—from starting a company that prototypes cannabis waste as a wood alternative, to my permaculture roots and hand-built homes—is the belief that we are of the earth, not separate from it.
At the heart of everything I do is a commitment to healing the divide between humanity and the earth. Our survival is intertwined with the health of our ecosystems—if the oceans die, we die; if the forests vanish, so do we. I see my role as a bridge-builder, weaving together the old and the new, the urban and the wild, to remind us that we are not alien to this planet. We evolved from it, and our future depends on our ability to live in harmony with it.
Offer
My passion lies in weaving together communities and ecosystems, fostering spaces where innovation and nature meet to co-create a regenerative future. I bring a gift for cultivating meaningful connections—bridging diverse perspectives to align people and projects with the rhythms of the Earth. Through this work, I strive to nurture both human potential and the natural world, inviting us all to recognize our interconnectedness and act with reverence for life’s unfolding possibilities.
NEED
My biggest need is to raise $3 billion to acquire and protect 90% of the world’s remaining biodiversity. This funding will secure critical ecosystems that provide a livable world, ensuring they remain intact, stewarded by indigenous communities, and resilient against exploitation.
Call-to-Action
My call to action is simple but urgent: Let’s co-create a world where human potential and biodiversity thrive in harmony. We are not separate from this earth—we are of it. The time is now—every choice we make has the power to heal or harm. Let’s commit to healing. If the oceans die, we die. If the forests vanish, so do we. But if we reconnect with the wisdom of the earth, we rediscover that it has always held everything we need to flourish. Let’s listen deeply and act boldly—because the ripple effects of our work today will shape the world of tomorrow.
