I am an Impact Assessment Planner with experience working in Indigenous consultation, in event planning, and in policy analysis. I have a Bachelor of International Studies (Honours) with a Minor in Hispanic Studies from Bishop’s University, as well as a Master of Environmental Assessment from Concordia University.

Prior to joining Odonaterra, I worked as an Environmental Analyst at the James Bay Advisory Committee for the Environment. I provided multiple levels of government with policy analysis related to the development of laws and regulations, as well as procedures pertaining to environmental and social impact assessment, and supported long-term projects to address cumulative effects. I also worked as an Environmental Project Officer at the First Nations Quebec-Labrador Sustainable Development Institute as part of the consultation team. In these roles, I learned a lot about building relationships with various communities across Quebec. I also organized both in-person and online events that highlighted how, when people get together, collaboration and community-focused projects emerge.

I have experience conducting critical policy analysis that has included evaluation of environmental and international laws and doctrines such as the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP).

I was the recipient of the Rita R. Hamm IA Excellence Scholarship, which was awarded to me at the International Association for Impact Assessment’s annual conference (IAIA24) in Dublin in 2024. At IAIA24, I had the opportunity to present my end-of-master’s research project, “Asserting Indigenous Rights in Canada: A Critical Analysis of the Implementation of the UNDRIP through Regional Assessments.”

I am fluent in English, French and Spanish. I am passionate about fighting climate change, social justice, sociology, and the outdoors. Food sovereignty, Indigenous knowledge systems, circular economy and extractivism have been key topics that I am highly interested in learning more about and addressing in my work.

I am grateful to be living in Tiohtià:ke, commonly known as Montreal, which is a place where many First Nations gather.
