Hi, I'm Beck Swab. As a non-binary neurodivergent queer who spent over a decade doing conservation work for non-profits of various sizes, I understand how unique perspectives are often drowned out within our current standard organizational cultures. Evolving our perspectives is hard and requires curiosity and a commitment to change- but I can help organizations- and individuals- envision pathways to intertwine advancing their missions with creating a conscious culture of listening and inclusivity. To help organizations grow, I offer workshops, intensive sessions, and grant writing assistance, all of which support integrating inclusivity, environmental justice, and climate change planning into everyday goals to create lasting change.
I have a Ph.D. in ecology and have extensive experience with grant writing, project management, and goal setting. I am also a co-founder of Plant Partners, a cooperatively owned business which creates and maintains natural gardens promoting beauty and wildlife while supporting human needs by providing food and decorative products, adding to the circular local economy.
