I have had the chance for a diverse range of experience during my professional career. Right out of college, I spent a season in Winter Park managing a ski rental shop. At the end of the winter, I came back to Boulder County and began working for local non-profit, Eco-Cycle. I spent four great years with the Eco-Cycle team, working on environmental advocacy in East Boulder County, including leading the effort for the introduction of curbside composting here in Lafayette.

My next position was with a local B Corp, Eco-Products, as their Sustainability Manager. This was a crash course at the intersection of business and sustainability. I learned first hand that business can be a force for good, and experienced the challenges of navigating critical competing priorities to run a successful and impactful business.

For the last year and a half, I have been fortunate to work as the Environmental Sustainability Manager at Denver International Airport, overseeing our Air Quality, Climate Action, and Waste Diversion efforts. There I manage a team that works tirelessly to be sure that everything we do at DIA (now called DEN) is done in an environmentally responsible way.

My experience is varied - starting with a small community focused non-profit, transitioning to a medium sized business with global aspirations, and now with a large public organization - which gives me a strong understanding of the diversity of economic and community interests in our city.
