Seventh generation Texan. BA (History/Philosophy) and MA (South Asian Cultures and Languages) from UT Austin (2007, 2010). I’ve been in Austin, TX for the past couple of decades but I also lived for a bit in Los Angeles, CA and Jaipur, India. I originally come from Houston.

Completed my initial PDC in 2012 at Quail Springs, with Warren Brush. I have taught Pc locally in Austin, as well as an intro course in 2014 in Lebanon, CT, along with Starhawk. I co-taught my first PDC in 2016 in Darjeeling, India with Rico Zook of Itinerant Permaculture. In 2017, I completed my PTT with Theron Beaudreau and Taelor Monroe in San Marcos, TX. Also in 2017, I attended and volunteered at IPC India. 2018 I attended and volunteered at the IWPSC at OLCERI on Pine Ridge. In late 2019 I will be abroad again to co-teach PDC’s in Darjeeling, India, and Bangalore, India.

Since 2013, I’ve been working full time doing regenerative landscape design, installation, maintenance, and consultation, helping to manage a small organic landscaping business in Austin.

I am interested in connecting with the larger international permaculture community, especially those doing work in India and Africa.
