My research interests include extending the life cycle of sewn products and I am the coauthor of the recently published book Sustainable Fashion Why Now: A Conversation about Issues, Practices and Possibilities. With over 25 years of garment industry experience managing production, merchandising, and sales, my industry connections are a great source for community engaged scholarship for our students. I am a founding member of ESRAB, Educators for Social Responsibility in Apparel Businesses, and PeoplewearSF a bay area,non-profit sewn product industry association and I am on the board of Global Action Through Fashion.
