Hello! Introducing myself: I'm a former journalist turned #ClimateChange comms pro based near D.C.
I lead comms at CarbonCure, focused on carbon utilization and concrete decarbonization.
My hubby & I have two young kids. Oh, and we own a bulldog (Archie) & pet parrot (Paco).
I'm also a Bravo addict!

Inflation is real.
Remember when full-size @reeses peanut butter cups were the size of the circumference of a 10.5 oz can of Campbell's Soup?
Today, they’re smaller than a half dollar.
Pretty soon they’ll be the size of a quarter.

My husband’s first attempt at Ropa Vieja was 🔥. ¡Que deliciosa!
The slow-cooked, shredded flank steak, the sauce, the rice and beans, the sweet fried plantains… 👨🏾🍳💋

After 3 days of #ClimateWeekNYC talk talk talk, it was great to see some real *concrete* action. Fun visit w/ Kristal Kaye to Gotham Ready Mix; they use CarbonCure to lock CO₂ into concrete & cut cement emissions. Check out CarbonCure @ The Torch, supplied by Gotham:

"Ah yes, mates… a rare specimen here in the living room savannah. Here we have the elusive, canis lupus familiaris, the Bulldog Rhino, emerging fresh-out-of-the bath from ritual cleansing at the watering hole. Once fierce & frothy, now pacified & pondering life’s great mysteries, possibly a nap." 🦏

The calm before the storm.
Briefly visited the beach today before Hurricane Erin begins her crawl past OBX overnight.
Very few people, most walking or staring out at the angry, massive waves. A stream of lifeguards on ATVs. Birds and crabs thriving. Witnessed only a couple idiots go in the water.

Back in Colorado for my high school reunion—and stopped by a Brannan Materials Denver plant to see @carboncure.bsky.social in action. CO₂ stored, emissions reduced, and lower carbon concrete rolling out across the Front Range. It never gets old! Real tech, real people, real #ClimateImpact. 🧡🌎

No better way to celebrate 10 years of marriage with @toreycarterconneen.bsky.social than recreating our first dance to #LoveOnTop with a live performance from #Beyonce on the #CowboyCarter tour! 💜

Home sweet home after a week at sea!
Our cruise was full of sunshine, pool time and new family memories. It was very nice celebrating my birthday with the whole team. But our parrot-y in Puerto Plata made us really miss Paco (& Archie)!
Now back to reality, laundry and land legs!
