As the Investment Manager at Ecotrust, I support lending initiatives designed to increase community access to healthy food and expand access to capital for BIPOC-led community projects. I’m bringing 20 years of experience in traditional banking and management to elevate financing that centers on the wellbeing of people and communities over profit. Growing up in a family of farmers, I developed an early appreciation for sustainability, community gardening, and the challenges facing local food systems. Outside of work, I spend my time visiting farmers markets, crocheting in beer gardens, connecting with the local crafting community, and supporting independent film.
