I am a communications specialist and PhD student interested in building an environmentally just, post-carbon future in Canada and beyond. My professional experience has centered around communications, research, content management, and design work in the nonprofit sector. I have worked for organizations that support families affected by mental illness, provide housing for homeless and street-involved people, and advocate for poverty reduction policies and affordable housing. My academic research looks at Canadian environmental politics from a psychoanalytic Marxist perspective, specifically the intersections of fossil capitalism, settler colonialism, and climate change. My current project situates the Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion within the broader context of Canadian history and political economy with a view to imagining alternative futures.
