I am a researcher and advisor specialising in contemporary environmental dynamics. My main area of expertise is water governance and security (particularly trans-boundary); however, I am also well versed in a number of other key areas of concern from carbon reduction efforts to climate change adaptation/mitigation across a range of scales and contexts. I am experienced in utilising and working within a range of inter-disciplinary scientific principles and in translating these foundational scientific concepts to the more human-focused pursuits of developing and understanding practical and durable environmental policies and strategies. I am passionate about the environment and in helping people build a more sustainable, ethical, and just world. My academic interests lie at the intersections of political science, environment, and science in society and I have written on topics ranging from the politics of environmental diplomacy, and contemporary water security, to the global security dimensions of climate change as a form of human conflict.I have qualified for the Government of Canada's Emerging Talent Pool program.
