I am in the final year of my BSc Double Major in Environmental Sciences and Political Science at the University of British Columbia (UBC). As a Mitacs Accelerate grant recipient, my work with the RISE lab currently explores the advancement and mainstreaming of mini forests within the Canadian national context. From 2022 to 2023, I was a Catalyst Student Fellow as part of the Climate and Nature Emergency Fellowship Program at the Peter Wall Institute of Advanced Studies. This interdisciplinary background has drawn my research and professional interest to topics such as nature-based solutions, urban ecology, and community engagement, whilst grounding my work in a framework of climate and social justice.

Outside of work, I enjoy exploring my creativity through mediums such as oil painting, sketching, and collaging. Since moving to Vancouver, snowboarding has also become a new hobby of mine!
