I hold a Master of Science in Geography from Carleton University, where I focused my research on the stability and contamination risks of drilling waste sumps in the Western Arctic. Prior to my master’s, I completed a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with a specialization in Geochemistry and Ecotoxicology from the University of Ottawa, graduating cum laude. My academic journey equipped me with a solid foundation in scientific methods and research, which I applied further as an Environmental Science Intern with Baird and Associates, where I modeled contaminant pathways in environmental remediation and impact assessment projects.
Professionally, I have served as a Science Officer at Environment and Climate Change Canada, where I contributed to national environmental assessments by coordinating scientific input on impact assessments. Currently, I work as the Communications and Strategic Partnerships Manager at The OATHE Project, leading strategy development, branding, and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, I am the founder and CEO of the Create Change Collective, a community-based organization focused on making environmental education accessible across Canada. Through this initiative, I have designed and implemented over 25 community projects that connect people with environmental conservation and education, reaching over 8000 participants.
My roles have enabled me to merge my technical expertise with a passion for community-driven environmental solutions, allowing me to foster meaningful engagement, inspire conservation action, and support environmental sustainability on multiple fronts.
