I am an environmental historian interested in resource extraction, industrial development, and environmental policy, and relationships between Indigenous peoples, the state, and industry. My doctorate in environmental history from the University of Alberta (2021) focused on environmental policy, Indigenous history, and land and resource management issues in the Alberta oil sands region.
I am currently Technical Lead, Lands and Culture at Two Worlds Consulting in Vancouver, BC. My role includes acting as a discipline lead navigating federal and provincial impact assessment legislation and working to collaboratively apply Indigenous Knowledge to inform the impact assessment process. I work with a range of Métis, First Nation, industry, and government clients on Indigenous land and Knowledge, impact assessment, and historical research projects.
