Through the Lifelong Learning program at Washington College, I support programs that connect alumni and community with campus and promote a vibrant and regenerative campus culture. I teach beekeeping, fermentation, and permaculture, and work as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner to help people thrive in accord with the natural world.

Favorite Professor
