I love photography, travel, and learning new things. In our travels I’ve learned that humans are more similar than different, humanity is not separate or above nature, and that when we collectively recognize our similarities and dependencies we can celebrate our differences and focus on our long term survival. This is my second trip to Antarctica and am excited to focus my experience and time on helping others feel a connection with our southern continent and our impact on the planet. When I’m not tapping away on my computer for my job at Apple, I love to make things with my hands. I grew up spending a lot of time in my grandfather’s workshop building things out of wood, clay, glass and metal. He taught us that being creative is a state of mind and that you can learn the skills needed to do anything you want, you just need time and energy.

Before Apple, I worked at Google, Netflix, Beats and Yahoo. I’m a native Californian and have lived in Texas, England and now call Seattle home.
