- I bring energy, determination, and existential urgency as a voice of the next generation. - My background as an Indigenous grassroots organizer has allowed me to build coalitions between Indigenous advocates and environmental activists. I understand that a diverse pool of knowledge is essential for the longevity of on-the-ground initiatives. - I also have a background in competitive public speaking and customer service that has allowed me to build strong persuasion, presentation, and interpersonal skills. I've found that no matter the merits of an idea or how aligned your audience is with a proposal, you must communicate your mission effectively to inspire people to action. I believe change-makers are most effective when charm is leveraged to compel action through understanding and empathy.
