My work explores the impact of war on agriculture and the ecosystem, the effects of climate change on our food system, the role of female pilots in aviation, and how some communities address challenges through conservation.

Check out my "Embark on" section to learn about my experience as a member of Whirly-Girls International Female Helicopter Pilots and how a small team in Kenya is working to create change in their community through biodiversity projects and efforts to restore a degraded environment.

The April edition explores a wide range of topics, including Pope Francis' recent death and the Russo-Ukrainian War's impact on the environment.

GreenGo Strategic Development is working to expand the pipeline in Italy, and I'm highlighting the incredible story of Sue Mathies, a pioneer pilot and balloon tragedy survivor. 

HAPPY reading!

A Day of Resilience

In "A Day of Resilience," my historical fiction short tale published on Reedsy, I describe a character who sees an event and suffers the consequences, emphasizing the value of

                               FREEDOM and DEMOCRACY.

What is your greatest value? 

My value is "Freedom." The freedom to select where I want to continue my education, the freedom to travel to countries, the freedom of expression, and the FREEDOM to vote for the party whose policies I believe will lead to a better, more valuable future.
