I am a scholar, multidisciplinary educator, writer, and naturalist passionate about challenging the forces that dispossess us of our own earthly consciousness and authentic sense of belonging.

I draw upon my studies in numerous fields including  social history, natural history, ethnobiology, and ecopsychology to lead multidisciplinary outdoor adventure tours centered around storying the landscape and fostering embodied connection to place through folk knowledge practices and humanistic ideas. Learn more about the genesis of this project here.

I previously offered monthly events in the Greater Boston and New England regions as a volunteer trip leader with national not-for-profit Outdoor Afro and am available to serve audiences with bespoke event needs.

For a more comprehensive overview of my projects and writings, see my personal website.
