How are you currently involved in the Transition?

I was one of the original Transition Trainers in the US, starting in 2008. I also started the 12th US Transition Town.

In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?

I did trainings throughout the US, hosted global Zoom meetings, and worked on many committees on the national level, including the CDC.

Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?

All of the above. I'm also a Permaculture instructor and a certified facilitator in Prosocial, Open Space Technology, and Dynamic Facilitation. I've also trained in Nonviolent Communication.

In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?

Currently in Ashland, OR but I'm planning a move to Whatcom county.

Where did you hear about Transition Whatcom and how did you find our community network website?

I researched on FB.
