About Me   About Me
Over the past several years, I have dedicated much of my energy toward activities that advocate for strengthened action and policies to minimize the impacts of human activities on the climate. In 2007, I helped raise over $4.3 million in student levies for supporting energy efficiency and conservation upgrades at my university, and secured a contract for purchasing wind energy for one of the student-owned buildings.

I currently work as the Transportation Demand Management coordinator for a municipality to develop sustainable transportation policies and programs that reduce emissions from transportation.

I continue to contribute my extra time to working within the community to educate and increase awareness about climate change, environmental sustainability, and conservation. I am one of the Policy Coordinators for the Canadian Youth Delegations to the UN Climate Change conferences. My previous UN participation also includes the 2005 International Youth Conference on Climate Change in Montreal, the 2006 United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development, and the 2007 UN Climate Conference in Bali. I am looking forward to continuing this learning experience and contributing further to the discussion on climate change in Poland this December for the 14th UNFCCC meeting!
