*My Story
- I am
Yes, I am.
- I earn my daily bread
I recently finished a PhD in Geography at UC Davis. My graduate work included engaging with youth and adults in Knights Landing, California, where we painted a community mural based on two years of participatory research.
- How my leadership has changed as a result of OTV
I am more aware of both my strengths and weaknesses. I have learned that it’s not only okay to ask for help, but imperative: life is a collaborative effort (and joy!). I have seen myself turn visions into reality instead of talking myself out of them because of all the things that could go wrong. I try to pass these learnings on to others by exemplifying them in my own life and work.
- Where I’ve come from and where I expect to be in the next 3-5 years
I come from confusion, idealism, courage, fear, love, and hope. I expect more of all.
