“If not now, when?” (Hillel the Elder)

I understand the power of motivation and resilience through communication and leadership.

I am influenced by Marshall Ganz, teacher, storyteller, and union organiser at the Harvard Kennedy School of Public Policy. Ganz mobilised the grass roots strategy for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential ‘Hope’ campaign. Ganz’s call to leadership brings a sense of urgency and responsibility to climate change.
