My expertise and services primarily support the management and stewardship of lands and resources but are often linked to a range of priority areas, such as community health and wellness.
Collaborating with clients, I try to identify these connections and support the achievement of broader strategic goals through every project. In doing so, my goal is to deliver practical support and durable solutions that are consistent with a community’s vision.
