I have a BSc in Biology and Environmental Science from McGill University, and an MSc in tropical biodiversity from Université Libres de Bruxelles. For some years between my Masters and PhD, I worked for the Nature-based Solutions Initiative at the University of Oxford. My research is interested in exploring the social-ecological relationships that can help us understand and build long-term resilience. In my PhD, I am applying this to help in the process of creating a vision of an Indigenous Protected and Conserved Area in a collaborative community-based research project with the community of Manawan of the Atikamekw First Nation. I am based at the Université du Québec à Montreal and am a Joint Doctoral Research Scholar at UBC. I am also a recipient of a Doctoral Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship.
In my free time, I am outside connecting with nature. My favourite is to hunt out those rare pockets of the world where there are no cars to be heard!
