More About Me
My process of self-cultivation hasn’t been linear. I’ve stumbled, thinking I’ve lost my way, only to find myself building new places to call home. Whether that be gardening through the peaks of Vancouver Island, directing sustainable festivals and awareness, guiding people through yoga and meditation, consulting organizations, or diverting food waste into delicious vegan food, my home is always where I put my energy. Through my love of logistics, the environment, people, and animals, I pride myself in occupying my time to making a difference.
Why forests are important to me
When I was a little girl, I would frolic outdoors pretending to be a fairy or goblin talking to the trees, plants, and animals around me as if they were a part of me. That feeling has never left: being understood and held in the space of nature (and being a goblin). Witnessing the harmonious cycle of life and decay in a forest reminds me of the importance of sustainable practices in my own life. The forests give me space to cultivate questions: “how can I create more practices of curiosity?”, feel connected to a larger community, and allow myself to be free. Forests are essential to harmony, well-being, and our future.

Ask me about
Food is my love language. Engage me in a conversation about the magical art of transforming your cherished recipes into vegan wonders. Ask me about my vegan baking adventure, where I focus my time on food waste reduction. Music is my essential; punk is my go-to, but I explore anything that makes me bounce around. Urban planning, sustainable fashion, community events, and art are a few things I love!
What ruffles my feathers
Greenwashing, food insecurity, social injustice, and close-mindedness. Being attentive and mindful are practices everyone should embrace!
My animal alter-ego is a red panda, a treetop navigator who treats projects as if they were my favourite branch. Like this curious, bushy-tailed animal, I’m resourceful and always find the best path, even when it means climbing to new heights. My keen awareness and adaptability keep every detail in check, and I bring a burst of warmth and energy to ensure everything runs smoothly.
