Biography

My name is Isaac, and I am entering my first year of PhD candidacy in the Geography and Urban Planning Department. Most of my research focuses on equitable green space (infrastructure) development within the urban landscape, specifically in neighbourhoods with high concentrations of social housing. My previous experience also branches into areas of work as a GIS policy analyst with the Federal Government and a train operation with the GO transit.
