My
project
focuses
on
using
eDNA
metabardocing
to
better
understand
biodiversity
in
urban
ecosystems.
I
focus
on
stormwater
ponds
and
working
with
the
Residential
development
Impact
Scorecard
for
the
Environment
(RISE)
to
induce
ecological
best
practices
in
urban
developments.
I
previously
completed
my
MA
in
Rhetoric
and
Communication
Design
(’21)
at
the
University
of
Waterloo
where
I
focused
my
Master’s
research
project
photography
as
a
critical
tool
for
science
communications
in
ecological
studies.
I
hope
my
practice
as
an
interdisciplinary
scholar
will
bring
new
perspectives
to
tackle
pertinent
challenges
amid
a
global
biodiversity
crisis.
