Core Coordinators & Leadership:

HWB is currently an all-volunteer nonprofit. From our volunteer Executive Director to our Remote Office Coordinator, we all volunteer from around the world to keep HWB running day to day. Our volunteer Core Coordinators and Volunteers are the life force behind HWB, and we couldn't do this work without them. 

Coordinator Roles & Volunteers:

Are you an HWB member who is interested in volunteering for our core group? Almost everything we do Is remote work based using online tools and google drive. We have many roles open due to the pandemic.  If you are self-driven and can identify needs and run with it, reach out to office@hwbglobal.org.

Monograph Editor

Picture
My name is Connor Anastasia Denton and I am the Monograph Editor here at Herbalists Without Borders. I am currently 24 years old and pursuing a Master’s of Science in Herbal Medicine. I enjoy going the gym, gardening, taking care of my indoor houseplant collection (over 35 different species), reading, painting, graphic design, and playing with my three cats. I joined the HWB in March 2022 to participate in the active efforts of reestablishing a community bond rooted in plants. I believe plants have the ability to teach us about where we come from, who we are, who we want to be, but most importantly, they have the power to bring people together in times of need.
