I'm Olea.

I’m a sustainability researcher, educator, and problem-solver based in Bonn, Germany (by way of Berlin, by way of the USA…).

I‘m committed to building communities that are ecologically and socially sustainable.

About me.

Trained as a social scientist and ethnographer, I use a broad palette of digital storytelling and qualitative methods to deliver rich analysis.

I‘ve spent years working with community-based sustainability projects around the globe, including writing a doctoral dissertation on eco-village communities. I’ve also shared my work in public lectures, community workshops, blog posts, and podcasts.

For examples of my work, check out my portfolio.

I also write about my participation in academic conferences, other presentations, and upcoming projects on my blog.
