Having grown up in India as a Hindu, water and nature were a part of my upbringing, and I have a deep spiritual connection to the themes I now have worked upon for almost three decades. I have the privilege of leading a national firm that works with community visionaries to lead our nation's largest urban greening programs (www.cisolutions.com). I have also founded a thriving network of resilience and sustainability visionaries across the Great Lakes (www.risc.solutions). I have worked with/for federal/state agencies, nonprofits and NGOs, and a number of Foundations.
