I am a PhD student at the Institute for Resource, Environment, and Sustainability at UBC. My research focuses on how relationships to land and water emerge and are mediated through storytelling, and how these stories influence public policy. My Master's of Anthropology at the University of Toronto focused on climate justice and community mobilization for climate action. I am also the Chief Research Officer at the youth-led non-profit Break The Divide, working at the intersection of climate change mental health.
