My life work and passion is social and environmental justice, growing up in New Mexico I had the advantage of a home-based education where I started learning about heritage in traditional medicines, and wandering the forests of the southwest. I spent most of my young adult life educating myself on local plants and the incredible reciprocity of nature. Our ability to save and sustain humanity relies on our ability to dive back into our roots and build up a different relationship with the earth, ourselves and each other.
