What causes me to leap out of bed each morning is the opportunity to explore, research, and conserve global forests; mentor the next generation (especially women and minorities) in sustainability and forest stewardship; and educate diverse audiences through storytelling.
My personal goals are to mentor 10m kids, sell 10m books, speak in front of 10k corporate leaders, conserve 10m acres of forest, and establish ten walkways in ten high biodiverse forests, where women and indigenous families can earn a sustainable income from ecotourism and not logging.
