Biography

I am a first year MScPl student with a focus on planning for just urban climate futures.

My previous research and professional work has centered around engaging communities in municipal sustainability initiatives, sustainable food systems, and climate action planning.

I am pursuing a concentration in Environmental Planning and a collaborative specialization in Environmental Studies. In 2024/2025, I will be a teaching assistant for Edible Campus (ENV463H1F), and Histories of Environmental Change (GGR101H1S).
