Hello!

Below you can see some of my projects and read about my growth and progress personally and professionally as an Eco-Social designer working and learning within the context of the Gaia University Action Learning model.

I have organized each project chronologically as "Output Packets" which can be accessed one at a time by clicking on each title.

Links to self, peer, and professional reviews can be found at the bottom of the title pages in the feedback section of each  OP.

My learning path with Gaia U started out with a "Broad Acre" track on a 165 acre Permaculture project in Southern Oregon and migrated to an "Urban" track in New York City with a focus on urban food production. My Concentration for my Master's Capstone Phase became; Controlled Environment Urban Agriculture. I welcome comments and feedback and as well as interest in collaborative opportunities. My Gaia Learning Journey  has been an exciting and very interesting adventure so far.
