Research and Professional Interests

I am an environmental geographer who researches the complex relationship between humans and their environment, focusing on how this relationship shapes behaviour, participation, and environmental decision-making in Canada, with particular attention to issues of environmental justice and equity. With a strong academic foundation spanning both the sciences and social sciences, my previous work has explored community-based conservation, community health, and housing policy. This breadth of experience enables me to approach my research through multiple lenses, drawing from a variety of fields and methodologies. Alongside my doctoral work, I am actively engaged in other human-environment and community-driven research, contributing to projects on faith-based environmentalism, commons and commoning, biodiversity policy, and housing policy.
