Environmental Ethic
I have a strong passion for educating and working to build sustainability knowledge and stewardship in the communities around me. In my projects, I’ve explored with various creative visuals methods to engage and translate an environmental message to the community audience.
Visions, Values, and Principles
• Be an active listener and learn about the other person first - don’t begin by telling them about yourself.
• Read books, ask questions, and always expand your knowledge.
• Strong respect for other people and the environment we’re in, beginning from childhood experiences.
• Do a good job with all of your responsibilities; be reliable.
• Plan ahead to avoid time crunch.
• Be as genuine as possible and surround yourself with genuine people.
• Be reflective upon your past – always assess.
