About me

Originally from Vancouver Island, Canada, but currently based in Germany, I hold two Master’s degrees focused on political economy and development, and an undergraduate degree in political science. I have over a decade of communications and business development experience, working across the fields of government, politics, entrepreneurship, consulting, and sustainable development. My career focus has always been centred on the environment, climate change, and sustainability. In my spare time, I enjoy creative writing, playing the guitar and singing, reading, running, yoga, travelling, starting new businesses, and baking. I am also a beekeeping apprentice, and an avid follower of pop culture. Needless to say, I very much identify with my Gemini sun zodiac placement.
