I graduated from the University of Victoria with a Bachelor of Science in Geography, where I studied whales and their spatial behaviour—igniting a passion for marine conservation and spatial data. This led to my work as a naturalist for a whale-watching company for several years where I gained valuable experience in the field and expanded my understanding of marine ecosystems.

Now, in my current role as a mapping technician, I continue to build upon my mapping skills and utilize Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to support my work and to help protect the coastal environments I love.

When I’m not working, I can often be found outside, hiking, camping and playing disc golf (terribly), enjoying a sunny patio drink, or getting The Longest Road in Catan.
