I consider Annette to be "beyond credible" as a permaculture designer and consultant, and a very nice person to work with. The words I associate with her are education, design, work ethic, and kindness.

I see Annette as a self-made, passionate change-maker who can take what feels like a complex world of permaculture and sustainability and break it down into easy to understand and adopt concepts and steps that anyone can implement into the way they prefer to do life. She's an educator at heart and would be the perfect person to act as a mentor.
