I am a postdoctoral researcher and instructor in the Department of Sociology at the University of Victoria, on the territory of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and WSÁNEĆ nations.

My research examines the intersection of food system sustainability, justice and labour. As a scholar, I use both qualitative and quantitative methods to advance participatory and solutions-oriented approaches to research.

I completed my PhD at the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability at the University of British Columbia in 2022​. I am a Professional Agrologist with the BC Institute of Agrologists. I also hold a MSc in Land and Food Systems from the University of British Columbia, and a BSc (honours) in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences from McGill University.

I live as an uninvited guest with my partner and our daughter on the traditional territory of the Tla’amin Nation in qathet, BC. We operate a small farm and are learning to steward nine acres of mixed agricultural and forested land.
