(she/they)
I grew up in a small town on the edge of the Rocky Mountains on unceded Sinixt, Ktunaxa, Secwepemc, and Syilx territory. Working at the intersection where social and ecological systems meet, I am passionate about continuously imagining a practical utopia that leaves no one behind.
I completed my undergrad in Environmental Science (BSc) at the university of British Columbia in 2021. Concentrating in sustainability science ultimately taught me that “sustainability,” the way it’s often understood in western academia, is a myth. Instead, we must plan for regeneration.
This sentiment led me to Landscape Architecture - a space where ecology, community, and creative expression can and must be integrated fluidly. I am particularly interested in the role of participatory, low tech, nature-based landscape design as a method for community building in the face of climate collapse, rising inequality, and white supremacy.
Currently, I'm pursuing an MSc in Landscape Architecture in Hannover, Germany.
