Meet the Founders

Patrina Hayes

Patrina is a seasoned occupational therapist with over 15 years of experience working in rehabilitation, education, and transition planning for students receiving special education services. She has witnessed firsthand the lack of community fit for people with disabilities after graduation—and founded Salt & Sky to bridge that gap with solutions that are inclusive, just, and deeply rooted in environmental care.

We all deserve to be seen, heard, and valued—our communities are stronger when no one is left behind.

Micah Hayes

Micah is a grassroots environmental organizer from Brazoria County with lived experience at the intersection of pollution, inequity, and youth-led change. His work with local advocacy groups has focused on elevating community voices and making environmental justice more inclusive. As co-founder of Salt & Sky, Micah brings deep purpose and bold vision to building a future where sustainability and accessibility go hand in hand.

When communities are seen, we grow stronger together.
