I believe that endless growth on a finite planet is impossible; but I am also aware that our entire way of life is based on just that.  I'm keen to find a way to bring those two thoughts together as soon as possible.

 I’m Vanessa, a Colorado native with a background in technology and project management, currently on a journey to align my career with my passion for sustainability and environmental stewardship.  After earning my undergraduate degree in Economics at UCCS and an MBA from CU-Denver, I spent over a decade in the tech industry.  While successful, I found myself wanting to make a more meaningful impact.  I’m a life-long learner and an ever expanding soul looking for authentic professional connections with a like-minded community.   I’m particularly interested in topics like #sustainability, #climatechange, #communityengagement, and I’m excited to connect with others in the DEAL Community who share a commitment to driving positive environmental change!

Hello, I'm Dr. Alex Pantziaros, often known as Dr. Pantzi. I am a PhD Chemical Engineer with a deep-rooted passion for sustainability and the transformative power of economics in fostering ecological and social well-being. My professional journey has been driven by a mission to harness technology and innovation to address critical global challenges, particularly in the realms of education, waste management, and economic development. My interest in the DEAL Community stems from my belief in the principles of Doughnut Economics as a framework that balances human needs with planetary health. I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations to create scalable solutions that respect our planetary boundaries while fostering a fair and inclusive economy. I am particularly interested in #Sustainability, #CircularEconomy, #WasteReduction, and #EducationInnovation. I look forward to contributing to and learning from this vibrant community, and exploring how these concepts can be integrated into practical, impactful business models.

Exploring what is mine to do as an sage-ing elder. Interested in a broad systemic view of things, addressing causes rather than symptoms. Trained as an end-of-life doula during covid; practicing compassionate communication; convening conversations around "awkward" topics such as Exploring What's Life Affirming around Death and Dying. Wanting to invite conversations around earth etiquette and Doughnut Economics is the most wholistic program we've seen. Hoping there are resources to support these exploratory conversations.
