Bio
As an outdoor educator, my research interests are grounded in the relational connections between humans and the more-than-human world. I am particularly interested in how we can use leisure (in all its forms) to address issues of climate change and sustainability challenges that we face today. As an uninvited guest on Snuneymuxw territory, I ensure that my work is rooted within Indigenous, anti-racist, and critical place-based pedagogies and I work in allyship with Two-spirit/Lesbian/Gay/Bisexual/Trans/Queer/Intersex+ communities. Personally, I enjoy being outside doing anything with my family, but especially love biking, hiking, camping, and being on the ocean (paddling, boating, swimming, SUPing, you name it!).
