I am a farmer, teacher, artist, and writer. I am passionate about agriculture, botany, ecology, community living, forestry, herbalism, meditation, hiking, cycling, poetry, storytelling, mental/emotional health, and traveling. I own a fruit and nut tree nursery (my website is mothertreenursery.org). I also work as a land stewardship coordinator for a nonprofit farm that focuses on education and conservation near Boston, Massachusetts. I've lived all across the United States working and learning on permaculture farms and agroforestry orchards. I've lived in Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Washington state, Iowa, Missouri, and North Carolina. I traveled the U.S. by bicycle for nine months during 2017-2018, from NYC to Florida to California, and made a documentary about the experience. I volunteered on organic farms and intentional communities through WWOOF, wild camped, and stayed with Couchsurfing hosts from Virginia to California. I grew up in Providence, Rhode Island, then studied creative writing and mechanical engineering at the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. I've made various films, books, and love photography. I am a very neat and respectful guest, always willing to cook, clean, build, teach, learn, and help out in any way possible.
