Umme Abiha

Professor, Director, Centre for Environmental Education | Royal Roads University

Abiha is an inquisitive soul who discovered that life’s greatest treasures don’t always come knocking; sometimes, you must seek them yourself. Her journey into the world of AI & Analytics was sparked by an intriguing question: “Why are the sales of ice-creams more in winter than in summer?” Six years down the winding path of data, she is a first principles thinker, a strategic wizard, and a transformation catalyst helping science-tech organizations and corporate functions. She is currently following her passion as an Environmental Project Manager leading the Zero-Emissions Vehicle Awareness Initiative, funded by Natural Resources Canada.

She is more than just numbers; a theater enthusiast who finds her muse on the stage and a nature lover who seeks solace in the great outdoors. Yoga is her sanctuary, and social development is her cause.

What truly ignites her spirit is connecting with people and unveiling the unique stories they carry. Beyond data and strategy, she is passionate about interaction and exploration. Feel free to reach out to her because, in conversation, we can create magic, share insights, and make the world a little brighter.

Land Acknowledgment

In the spirit of respect, reciprocity, and truth, we acknowledge that we live, work, and gather on the traditional territories of the peoples of Treaty 7, including the Blackfoot Confederacy—comprising the Siksika, Kainai, and Piikani Nations—as well as the Îyâxe Nakoda and Tsuut’ina Nations.

This land, known as Moh’kinsstis in the Blackfoot language and encompassing what is now Districts 5 and 6, is also home to the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3, within the historical Northwest Métis homeland.

We recognize and honour the deep connection these Nations have to the land, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share in its stewardship.

As we continue our work, we commit to learning from Indigenous knowledge systems, uplifting Indigenous voices, and fostering relationships rooted in equity, understanding, and reconciliation.
