A senior analyst with the Responsible Fossil Fuels program at the Pembina Institute, my work focuses on corporate and government projects and policies on issues related to energy developments in Canada. I apply my expertise to develop and assess technologies and policies that mitigate the environmental and social impacts of energy development while advancing economic prosperity. My role primarily involves:• Engagement with energy industry. Work with the industry to develop solutions that advance sustainability outside of the policy space. This includes providing the industry with technical and policy advisory services and third-party assessment of technologies and projects. • Recommendations to government. Prepare reports and briefing notes to decision-makers and represent the Pembina Institute in public consultations.• Energy research. Conduct and coordinate qualitative and quantitative research, modelling, as well as literature review on a wide range of energy topics.
