That's me in the back of the truck with my team (tan hat, white shirt) in a village outside St. Marc, Haiti, where we set up a day clinic one month after the earthquake.

As an herbalist, first responder, street medic, and public health educator, I put myself in many chaotic situations. Some of these situations were environmental disasters, such as the earthquake in Haiti  and assessing cancer rates due to coal waste in West Virginia. Some of these situations were political disasters such as the giant gatherings to support Water Protectors at the Standing Rock Indian Reservation and many large protests across North America.
