Ideas

Questions I'm exploring.

This is where writing and talks will live as they're published. For now, it's an honest map of what I'm actually thinking about — organized by theme, not dressed up as finished essays before they exist.

Place Justice Work Motherhood Faith Wonder Relationships
  • Justice

    What environmental justice requires when survival comes first

  • Faith

    Faith communities as partners in conservation, not just sites for outreach

  • Work

    Who can afford to build a career in a mission-driven field

  • Work

    The expectation that people in conservation shouldn't care about money

  • Work

    Representation, retention, and what actually makes a career in this field last

  • Motherhood

    Motherhood and ambition in conservation

  • Work

    Service, burnout, and what it costs to bring the work home

  • Place

    The Great Lakes, Detroit, and the generational memory held in a place

  • Relationships

    Intimacy, vulnerability, and what it looks like for women to live more fully

These are questions I'm actively exploring, not published articles. Real essays, field notes, and recommended reading will appear here as they're written — I'd rather this page be honest about where it stands than fill it with placeholders dressed up as finished work.
