I am currently working towards a PhD in Geography, exploring the spread in Arctic soil temperature estimates among the most recent generation reanalysis and land data assimilation systems. I am involved in the Canada1Water Project, which is working towards building a comprehensive surface-groundwater modelling platform, with future projections of water resources in Canada under a variety of future climate change scenarios. My role has been to develop a high resolution blended ensemble mean soil temperature product, based on reanalysis soil temperature estimates, and to investigate the impact of snow cover on its performance.

My Master's thesis explored path dependence of the climate system at high levels of cumulative carbon emissions - essentially I explored whether or not the equilibrium response of our climate varied as a function of emission rate, or whether the response was a function of cumulative emissions.

My previous experience includes working at Douglas College as the Geography Lab Technician; as a sessional instructor at Simon Fraser University; work with the federal government in a variety of resource management positions; and remote field experience in the Canadian North, pertaining to mineral resource exploration as well as environmental assessment and remediation.

I am passionate about promoting science literacy in the community, and actively volunteer as a Science Outreach Educator with the University of Waterloo's Let's Talk Science Office, making visits to K-12 classrooms, as well as STEM events around the community.
