What I'm looking for

I am looking for remote work that requires immersive and challenging tasks where my relevant skills can contribute to meaningful outcomes.

At North American Youth Parliament for Water, I led research and authorship of a policy report examining governance of the Columbia River Watershed. I also conducted policy and environmental analysis to inform recommendations on watershed resilience and sustainable water management.

At Anthropocene Institute, I researched climate change, environmental justice, public health, and clean energy technology. I translated technical data for lay audiences and used social media and graphic design tools to support public engagement.

At Red Crow Community College, I delivered courses on ecosystems, wetlands, environmental monitoring, and sustainability. I developed curricula for 17 courses and facilitated program execution.

As a Field Organizer at ACORN Canada, I coordinated community initiatives addressing public policy issues. I facilitated workshops with residents and municipal stakeholders, and conducted research and coordination to support decision-making and implementation.
