Biography

My research and work is driven by the desire to help facilitate actions that address interconnected climate, biodiversity, social, and inequity crises. More specifically, I am interested in understanding processes of change related sustainability transitions, including how we might design and implement changes collaboratively such that it enhances justice and well-being.

Prior to coming to the University of Toronto, I completed a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of British Columbia with a Combined Major in Economics and Political Science and a minor in Environment and Society. I have worked in a range of professional roles, including most recently as a Research Technician at UBC's Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability.
