Trained as a scientist, lawyer, mediator and facilitator, and raised with social justice values, I bring my values and skills to organize and advocate for human dignity, community and common good, solidarity, stewardship, care for the most vulnerable and responsible and accountable governance. My diverse experience includes working in a family owned small business, serving as a MN gubernatorial appointee, managing environment and public health in large corporations, utilities, state government, international environmental coalitions and non-profits.
