I'm an artist and climate researcher... often both at the same time. I am passionate about this area of work because even though most people recognize that climate change is an important issue, they have not been provided with the tools to really comprehend it. Art is a way to reach people and spur reflection.

I also love music, beer, and traveling. Love meeting new people, learning new things.
