She began her career digging through trash, recycling, and compost bins as a Zero Waste Event Coordinator at a nonprofit in Boulder, Colorado and worked her way into local government where she’s led programs and projects in business sustainability, sustainable food and agriculture, zero waste, and more. Today, she works as a Community Resilience Specialist for the City of Missoula, Montana, where her focus areas include building a climate resilient community, zero waste, and the City’s internal climate goals and efforts.
