Amplifying local community voices through collaboration and clarity.
Born and raised in Canada, I’ve always felt a deep connection to local communities, especially in the Arctic and the Himalayas, especially Indigenous Peoples. My path to GRID-Arendal was shaped by this connection, and by a long-standing commitment to ensuring that environmental projects not only succeed on the ground but also resonate in the wider world through clear, impactful communication.What I Bring
With a background in Geography and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), I bring both technical skills and a storytelling mindset to my role. My career spans environmental and foreign development project management, as well as GIS consultancy. These roles have reinforced the importance of making scientific data accessible and relevant to a broad audience, a mission that aligns perfectly with GRID-Arendal’s work.My Focus Areas
In My Own Words
″It has been an honour to work with the Arctic Council Secretariat and now with GRID-Arendal’s Polar Programme. Working alongside Indigenous communities in Horizon 2020 projects like Arctic PASSION and EcoTip has deepened my commitment to inclusive, respectful, and meaningful environmental communication.″
