My secret superpower is…

Making kids laugh!

My Favorite Game Is…

I couldn’t pick just one. My favorites are Rummikub, Euchre, and Scrabble.

Something on my bucket list…

Buckets full of food scraps, recyclables, and worm castings!!

One environmental issue that I am passionate about is…

I am particularly motivated to blend my concern for our planet with my work in the religious community. There is (or should be) a natural symmetry with the modern environmental movement and faith-based communities, but those practical connections are sometimes lacking. When people of faith engage on this issue in a serious way, it opens up wonderful opportunities to deepen our awe for God and the planet while engaging in social activism, building solidarity and partnership in the process.
