My primary work is supporting tourism stakeholders to embrace a regenerative and low-carbon approach to tourism. I work with destination organizations and tourism operators primarily in North America, but also in New Zealand and the South Pacific.

I see my role as capacity building and also helping to design processes to help places lessen the negative impacts of tourism and realize their full potential.

My goal is to build out my practice around regenerative approaches to tourism and how this intersects with climate action.

I want to better understand my own thinking and assumptions and become more confident in working with complex systems.

I want to grow my ability to engage clients and partners in regenerative development and apply systems frameworks.

I have invested in learning from thought leaders and I've spent time reading about how a regenerative approach can be applied to tourism. I've also taken a previous online course on regeneration and design thinking through the Tourism CoLab.

I've appreciated learning from thought leaders such as Bill Reed, Michelle Holliday and Anna Pollock. I also enjoy seeing regenerative approaches to tourism in practice, through places like Fogo Island and Playa Viva.

I'm not sure I have a clear philosophy/cosmology of life, however I do appreciate the Indigenous world views that speak to humans as "stewards" or "guardians" and that all living things are interconnected.
