Hi, there. Thanks for visiting.
I'm an AmeriCorps and JET Program alumnus with six years of experience in education, government, and communications.
My passion is helping to build healthy, resilient, localized communities. I love thinking about place-based identities as a Japanese Jewish American.
As of 2020, I'm researching, imagining, and documenting public spaces online and offline.
my skills and expertise:
See below, for samples of how I help.

All of my vacations are spent farming.
Writing
Yes, I have a substack.
Planning
A city-owned plot in the middle of a food desert.
Photography
Every seven years, a countryside village stays up all night.

Research
We shouldn't ignore our invisible cyclists.
Design
Because physicians sometimes need help too.
