Student
Acadia University – Community Development and Environmental Sustainability Studies

I am currently a Community Development student at Acadia University who is working on my undergraduate honours research on the topic of greenspace attachment and community resiliency. I am passionate about finding ways that communities can become more resilient to climate change and other external threats (such as COVID-19), by increasing social cohesion. I have a passion for facilitating and connecting community stakeholders, and I hope to continue refining this skill in my future endeavors.
