关于我
我是一位富有创造力的艺术家、坚韧不拔的建设者、教育工作者和非营利组织专业人士，致力于在社区最需要的时候赋能于他们。过去十年，我一直奋战在美国的灾难救援一线，将洪水和飓风灾区改造成充满希望的社区。
在最近的工作中，我专注于实际的灾后重建工作——教导社区成员如何安全使用电动工具，以及如何在社区中重建家园，有时甚至是从零开始。我相信，重建不仅仅是修复建筑物；更重要的是赋予个人重建生活所需的技能、信心和自立能力。
工作之余，我的生活充满创造力、好奇心和人际交往。我是一位单身母亲，一位爱狗人士，一位艺术家，也是一位旅行爱好者。无论是帮助邻居、创作艺术、探索世界新角落，还是挥舞锤子，我的目标始终如一：建设一个更强大、更美好的社区。I am a creative artist, resilient builder, educator, and non-profit professional dedicated to empowering communities when they need it most. For the past decade, I have worked on the frontlines of disaster relief in the United States, transforming flood and hurricane zones into communities of hope.
In my recent roles, I specialized in hands-on recovery—teaching community members how to safely navigate power tools and physically rebuild homes in their community, sometimes from the ground up. I believe that recovery isn't just about restoring structures; it is about equipping individuals with the skills, confidence, and self-reliance to reconstruct their lives.
Off the clock, my world is fueled by creativity, curiosity, and connection. I am a single mom, a dog mom, an artist, and an avid traveler. Whether I am helping a neighbor, creating art, exploring a new corner of the world, or swinging a hammer, my focus remains the same: building a stronger, more beautiful community.
