Summary

I study Ecology, Evolution, and Biology, specializing in species diversity and land management. I advocate for an end to species removal on public lands and for sustainable ecosystem management by people who love, rather than commodify, nature. I am committed to researching and writing to influence legislation regarding the environment towards Deep Ecology and Traditional Indigenous Knowledge whenever possible.


I bring ethics to ecology, evolution, and biology that I have developed throughout my longstanding work as a loctician. I maintain healthy hair in it's natural texture or in Locs. Working with all textures of hair requires the ability to genuinely connect with people of all cultures. With previous training in civil rights, my loctician work has created a safe community for all races of people to exist together.
