I have an undergraduate degree and PhD in Environmental Planning, specializing in Environmental Policy. I specialize on working on large and messy problems, such as strategic planning, watershed management, policy development and evaluation. A key part of this work is engaging and working with multiple stakeholders. My strength is in research design, methods, and managing projects to drive them to completion. I know what it takes to define the scope, design the project and the steps necessary to bring it to completion.I have worked in regional government, academia, non-profit organizations, and consulting as an individual and as part of a team. I have worked directly with organizations like Environment Canada, AAFC, Conservation Ontario, Conservation Authorities (and their equivalent) both in Ontario and across Canada, and many others.In my current role, I focus on student led projects with community partners. I design, mentor, and push to completion over 30 such projects involving approx. 150 students every year.
