"What motivates me is the opportunity to be a counterweight to the influence of money and corporate interests in our democracy. I believe that most people really want policies that will drive down carbon emissions, eliminate toxic chemical pollution, and protect our ecosystems, but their voices are often disregarded and their requests dismissed as impractical. As an attorney for MCEA, I'm proud to amplify those voices and to be an advocate for science and ecological protection.

I've always felt a deep connection with wild places and with nature. As a kid, I spent hours lifting rocks in the yard to check in on the beetles and centipedes. And my early experiences camping, canoeing, and, one summer, canoe trekking in the Temagami in Ontario led me to dedicate my career as a lawyer to protecting the environment. I'm happiest when I'm outdoors, in the woods, and living simply. "
