Profile Information

How are you currently involved in the Transition?
I've been teaching university courses on sustainability and environmental history for the past several years, and recently took a permaculture design course. My family moved to Bellingham in January 2015, and I serve as the assistant director of the Center for Service-Learning at WWU. My family is eager to meet people and to get involved with interesting community projects, and I'm on the lookout for new partnerships that can be built between campus and the community to achieve a more beautiful and resilient Bellingham and Earth.
In what ways do you identify with the Transition movement? Why are you interested?
Climate change and soil erosion realities, depressed rich people, violence, etc. make us sure that a big change is needed.
Do you have particular interests, skills, talents or resources you would like to bring to Transition Whatcom?
I have a PhD in Geography and have taught about sustainability, permaculture, environmental history, etc in Wisconsin and Pennsylvania. I have decent construction and gardening skills, and love leading and participating in service projects. Through my work with the Center for Service-Learning, I have access to many people and programs on the Western Washington campus.
In what neighborhood or part of the county do you reside?
Happy Valley
