about me
Social-ecologist for hire. Writer. Here to help.
Curriculum Vitae
Biography i.e. Riveting Life Story
I am:
an easily seasick vegetarian who somehow chose to focus on small-scale fisheries and marine conservation for her profession
a social-ecological researcher, educator, and consultant working for more effective, equitable, and ethical conservation through my company Keiruna Inc. and as part of the MarFishEco team
an ally-collaborator & Communication Regulation Partner (CRP) to my amazing minimally-speaking autistic brother Danny
a curious and ever-striving-to-be-thoughtful traveler who is currently oddly obsessed with perfecting her travel kit during quarantine
a water baby working to cultivate more graceful moves on my bright yellow longboard (the banana boat)
and a feminist and generally-concerned-with-social-justice human
diving into the world of writing across these various realms!
Now based in San Diego, hopefully *soon* resuming forays into the field around the world (mainly Southeast Asia).
