Human Nature

Gloved hands planting a young sapling in soil with text "Welcome to Human Nature" and "A community dedicated to igniting our human connection to the natural world."

Through Human Nature, we are building a platform and community where we can reconnect with our roots and get back to living in tandem with the natural world. Through stories of people, deep dives into topics like natural therapies or conservation issues, and community events, we’re working to rediscover our Human Nature, for ourselves and the planet.

The Faces of Skyline Forest series is an eight-part video series featuring individuals who have a lasting connection to Skyline Forest, located in Central Oregon. This video campaign amassed more than 13 million views across social platforms, resulting in over 100+ new donor sign-ups and growing community awareness for the Save Skyline Forest campaign.

I co-wrote, directed, and produced the series, which is also being turned into a short film, which will be premiering this fall.

Get To Know Me

I’m a journalist, writer, and filmmaker exploring how the natural world shapes our cultures, societies, and political structures. From coastal fishing villages in Sinaloa to remote wildernesses in the American West, my work is dedicated to exploring how our lives, society, and world are tied to the natural world.

Through this work, I’m fighting to spark curiosity, deepen connection, and inspire action to protect and understand our beautiful planet.
