Being an Anthropology student has allowed me to explore many interests. I am specifically interested in Environmental Anthropology and a diversity of subjects within this field; some of which include food studies, agriculture, resource management, climate change, capitalism and existing power dynamics within these subjects that lead to social or ecological inequity or injustice. I am currently working on a food security and education initiative in colaboration with Batiment 7 in Pointe-Saint-Charles and actively engaged in writing an honours thesis on ways in which children perceive the climate crisis and how ecological literacy can be used as a means of knowledge production and expression.

My studies have been focused on the topic of international development as well as sustainable and ethical social, economic, and political systems. Alongside my studies I have been involved in several on and off campus organizations that focus on community-based initiatives; including food justice, refugee integration, literacy programs, and community economic development. The most recent project I have been working on is a student-led initiative called Co-Lab, started by me and two other students. Co-Lab’s central objective is to reduce dependency on fast fashion and the circumvent the ethical and environmental consequences of the fashion industry; by providing the community with the tools, resources, and skills to upcycle ‘old’ and second-hand clothing. Moving forward I plan to continue to invest my academic and practical knowledge in initiatives that promote social and economic justice in both the local and global community.
