Hi, I’m Kerry — a systems storyteller and strategic engagement advisor working at the intersection of climate finance, ecosystem restoration, media, and regenerative futures.

​

For more than 15 years, my work has lived at the intersection of art, ecology, technology, and systems change, supporting people and places navigating complex environmental and societal challenges. I’ve learned that durable solutions emerge when imagination meets rigor, and when communities, science, governance, and capital are invited into the same conversation.

I currently serve as Director of Impact Outreach with Gordian Knot Strategies, working at the intersection of ecosystem restoration, carbon markets, and climate finance. My focus is helping sovereign governments, coalitions, and high-integrity projects move toward regenerative economies of peace, translating complex vision into investable pathways and building bridges between science and capital, policy and practice, urgency and care.

​

Before this chapter, my work unfolded largely on the ground. For 15 years, I served as founder and director of The EcoMedia Compass, leading restoration-focused media, advocacy, and community initiatives in support of human and environmental health, food security, and water security, most notably around California’s Salton Sea, the state’s largest and most imperiled lake.

Working with neighbors, artists, scientists, policymakers, and community leaders, we launched awareness campaigns, founded three community restoration centers, hosted close to 100 events and forums, supported nearly as many media pieces, and organized the world’s largest SOS image, created with 70 vehicles on a beach.

​​

I later served two terms as honorary mayor and Chamber of Commerce president for four lakeside towns, roles that allowed me to advocate for restoration, education, and policy from within local governance. During that time, I represented The EcoMedia Compass and Greenpeace on state-level committees, collaborated with the California Natural Resources Agency, and worked closely with county governments, utilities, scientists, and community leaders. I helped shape ecological strategies, supported and directed film crews, and hosted annual Earth Day and regenerative festivals bringing together scientists, youth, artists, and local residents.

​

This work contributed to restoration momentum that helped unlock tens of millions of dollars in restoration funding, build a community park, co-found the Desert Shores Channels restoration project, contribute to long-term policy momentum, and reach global audiences through The Los Angeles Times, VICE, WIRED, Al Jazeera, and dozens of award-winning documentaries. Sometimes I showed up with a microphone, sometimes with a camera, and often by listening closely to the patterns already moving through people and landscapes.

​​

Over time, my focus expanded toward systems-level change. I’ve facilitated global climate forums and advocated in Sacramento and U.S. Senate offices in Washington, D.C., on issues ranging from waterway restoration to emerging standards for AI governance. I’ve also served as a Senior Advisor to World Systems Solutions, supporting the development of a global utility platform for regenerative and climate collaboration.

I continue to work internationally while composing music as The Music Date and developing The Future Is Listening, an interactive wisdom media project blending systems design, storytelling, AI, and imagination, broadcasting from a future where we figured things out together.

A lifelong musician and composer, I see music as a language of hope, freedom, and flow. It informs how I approach collaboration, leadership, and regeneration for ecosystems, communities, and those yet to come.

​

I’m excited to keep planting the seeds of tomorrow, both in my local community and through global collaboration.

If you’re building something impactful, beautiful, and brave, there’s a good chance we’re already resonating.

I’d love to hear from you.

​
