She serves as the board co-chair for Salish Sea Cooperative Finance, a Washington State cooperative committed to reimagining the way we share wealth and address social and environmental issues, from the student debt crisis to the just energy transition. She believes in the beauty of the commons, and loves to ride her bike and spend time with her three pet rats–her very own mischief!
