Hello fellow NCRA members! I started my journey working in trash in 2007, when I worked as Zero Waste Coordinator at the UC Davis R4 Recycling Program. As a lifelong environmentalist, that experience galvanized my interest and led me to work in Zero Waste event management for more than a decade, managing crews for events with up to two million attendees. Along the way I spent two years at the SF Green Business Program, obtained an M.S. in Environmental Management, and now work as a Managing Consultant at R3 Consulting Group, where I assist public agencies in all aspects of solid waste programs.
I have been on the Board since 2025 and served as co-Secretary in my first year. I currently serve on the Recycling Update Program Committee. In addition, I served as a board member for the nonprofit Race to Zero Waste 2023-2024 and was on the Zero Waste Youth USA planning committee for 7 years. I started volunteering at the NCRA Recycling Update in 2015 and have attended almost every year since. I’m also an active member of CRRA, including leading a panel at the 2026 CRRA conference.
If re-elected to the Board, I would be pleased to continue contributing my extensive experience and knowledge of the industry and my passion for Zero Waste. It’s my honor to work closely with NCRA to provide the best possible programs at the Recycling Update and throughout the year.
