• AYLEE (Alberta Youth Leaders for Environmental Education) is a network that allows youth from across Alberta to collaborate on youth-led climate advocacy and projects
• Through this organization, I had the opportunity to help write and publish the AYLEE Green Leaders Kit, a toolkit designed to provide youth with the resources to become climate leaders within their communities
• This toolkit is divided up into four principal sections, addressing how youth can learn and get involved in their communities, host sustainability-driven events, have climate conversations, and take action on a local.
• My key roles with this project were developing the pages on how to write a meaningful land acknowledgement, public speaking tips, how to create an engaging presentation, how to gather event feedback, and information on.
• A few of my peers and I also presented at the International Student Energy Summit (Energize 2021)
• We talked about how we believe education will empower youth to become leaders in the transition to a sustainable, equitable energy future

• I was a leader of my school's sustainability club
• To influence people to compost, we started a compositing competition, where elementary classes would bring their compost bins to us every Thursday for us to sort through, and we would search for and record any material.
• At the end of each month, the class that had the least amount of contaminated material within their bins throughout the course of the month would win a prize
• Our sustainability club also pursued an aeroponic gardening initiative, and we were granted $2500 to purchase test gardens when we pitched our project to the Rotary club of Canmore
• We each grew gardens over the course of a year, measuring water intake, electricity consumption, and crop yield in order to define whether or not these gardens are an efficient alternative to grocery store shopping
• The next step in our initiative was implementing these gardens within our school

• I led a sustainable event planning software project called CO2 EASY
• CO2 EASY provides a carbon calculator that allows attendees to determine their CO2 emissions for attending an event (as well as the trees needed to offset their emissions)
• The attendees are also given an offsetting guide which contains a list of companies that provide carbon offsetting services, whether it be through planting trees or donating to climate action projects
• Finally, the attendees are given a list of sustainable hotels and restaurants that they can use during their travels
• This project was presented as a side project in iGEM 2021. Prior to iGEM, this project was pitched in the 2021 Tech Futures Challenge by MindFuel, where we were approached by the CEO of Mobility Quotient Calgary who.
• Some of my key roles within this side project were creating our project’s promotional video for the Tech Futures Challenge, and working on our project’s business model canvas

Canmore, Alberta

• iGEM is an international synthetic biology competition for high school, undergraduate and graduate teams
• Our team developed OXYBEGONE, an oxybenzone detector designed to provide an effective and affordable way to measure concentrations of oxybenzone in aquatic ecosystems, as compounds like oxybenzone have been proven to.
• My most significant role throughout this project was conducting our project 3D modelling. I used modelling software such as PyMOL and CB-Dock to analyze the interactions between the oxybenzone molecule and the human.
• In addition, I did project outreach, I conducted interviews with the President of SustainDriven and a local pharmacist in order to become more educated on the feasibility and possible implementation of our project
• Our team received the iGEM Silver Level of Achievement for International Genetic Engineering Projects when competing in iGEM 2021
