Over Mij

Hello there.

I originally hail from the rainy west coast of Vancouver, Canada, but right now I live on the even rainier shores of London, England. I work with The Otesha Project UK, where I have my fingers in lots of different pies & make sure things are whizzing along according to plan. Speaking of pies, I also like carving up pumpkins and making them into pie or delicious pumpkin curry.

Before I lived in London, I worked at the Post Carbon Institute in Vancouver and played with the bigwigs during a climate change fellowship at the UN Institute for Training and Research in Geneva. Before this, I studied management and international development at McGill University in Montreal. I've been living in Europe for the past few years, but before I left Canada, I stuck around long enough to help start up the Canadian Youth Climate Coalition and sit on the executive committee of the Sierra Youth Coalition, a youth-led social and environmental justice organisation.

I'm incredibly passionate about encouraging our leaders to take stronger action on climate change, so I've been to a few climate negotiations to hold 'em accountable. I am firmly convinced in the power of creative collective action.

On Otesha cycle tours (www.otesha.org.uk/cycletours), I carry around incredibly intricate knitting and am constantly searching for a misplaced water bottle, torch or bike helmet.
