I am a creative and enthusiastic designer with a passion for landscape architecture, ecology, climate adaptation, and emergency management.
Education
I recently completed the Master of Landscape Architecture program at the University of British Columbia where I had the opportunity to increase my ecological literacy, learn about citizen science and birding in urban parks, and build understanding of approaches to engage with community to shape public space.
I also hold a Bachelor of Arts (majoring in Peace & Conflict Studies and Business, minoring in Fine Art) from the University of Waterloo. Through this degree I was particularly interested in the intersections of human rights and climate change impacts, and how to resolve interpersonal conflicts in meaningful ways.
Professional Experience
After completing my undergraduate degree, I worked as the Manager of the Intact Centre on Climate Adaptation, an applied research centre at the University of Waterloo that helps Canadians prepare for climate change and extreme weather risks.
To understand the impacts of climate change in British Columbia, I worked with the UBC Disaster Resilience Research Network as a Graduate Research Fellow in January 2023. I also collaborated with the City of Vancouver's Sustainability Department to create visuals to showcase how the city is preparing for climate change. Most recently, I worked with North Shore Emergency Management to learn how North Shore municipalities and Nations are building resilience in their communities.
In my free time I enjoy painting, sketching, photography and hiking with my family. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you are interested in collaborating, or learn more about my professional and academic background on LinkedIn.
