Why are you involved on this project?

As a social science practitioner, activist, parent, and person, I strive to contribute to sustainability and justice. In this project, I hope to learn and contribute by exploring how transdisciplinary approaches in sustainability science can support (and be supported by) equitable governance and Indigenous self-determination, including through learning.

How does your work relate to Nunatsiavut?

I hope to learn with partners in Nunatsiavut and the SNF project about how collaboration can support equity and sustainability, and am committed to taking an approach that respectfully engages and has value to Nunatsiavut communities.  I'm also still (and always) learning, and will be adapting my approach as that continues. :)

What is your favourite outdoor activity?

Hiking and camping, especially with family and friends. (Having grown up in South Florida, outdoor winter activities are new... but growing on me!)

What is your favourite place in the world?

Hmmm. Tough one! I'm grateful for all of the beautiful places that I have (and have not yet) gone hiking my kids, but the Appalachian mountains have a special place in my heart because I grew up hiking and camping in them and love revisiting and sharing those connections.
