Welcome to Regenerative Thinking
I’m committed to exploring human potential and tapping into the immense wisdom of nature to find better ways forward.
I believe nature has much to teach us and that, with the right tools and thoughtful intention, individuals and organizations can unlock their potential to create positive change in the world.
I’m a systems thinker, always curious about how people, organizations, communities, and the natural world influence one another. My work has taken me across sustainability, climate, finance, and social impact, where I’ve helped organizations understand environmental and social risks, connect sustainability with strategy, and create meaningful change.
I find joy in asking questions, making connections, and turning complex challenges into opportunities for better choices. I believe that greater awareness of the consequences of our actions can inspire more thoughtful decisions—from the way we consume and build to the way we work, invest, and live.
Ultimately, I’m interested in moving beyond simply sustaining what exists toward regenerative thinking: creating systems, communities, and ways of living that can flourish over time.
I’m always looking for opportunities to learn, create, contribute, and collaborate with others who share a curiosity about what a more flourishing, inclusive, and prosperous future could look like.

Seva
“I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.” ~Maya Angelou
“Seva” is a Sanskrit word meaning “selfless service” or work performed without any thought of reward or repayment. This is the art of giving with no need to receive, where the act itself is a gift to everyone involved. I turn to seva whenever I feel overwhelmed by the sheer volume of matters I’m trying to address, whether personally, or in a societal level. Shifting my focus from myself and the challenges we’re facing toward my community gives me immediate relief and tremendous hope that I can make a difference.
Below are some of my efforts in giving back to the community.
