With Altitude & Awareness

My career and life spans from the Amazon rainforest, the Andean highlands, France, New England prep schools, and New York City NGO headquarters.

So far, in this walk, I believe that there isn’t a single policy or government initiative that can fix our global challenges.

Real change happens when individuals are willing to sit with discomfort, hold themselves accountable to their teams, and reclaim their potential that in turn (ayni) strengthens all.

Whether looking at governance challenges, financial systems, or relationship dynamics, weaving new networks requires fresh narratives about rights, resources, and our identity within the world.

The path forward demands both personal courage and collective reimagining of how we relate to each other and our shared spaces.
