A little about me...I’m in my final term as an undergraduate student at McGill’s School of Environment, specializing in human health and urban systems. I have been a hobby gardener for the past three years, found my passion and hope to continue on to pursue a Masters in landscape architecture or begin working in community programming around urban agriculture. 

I'm attending the FSC Assembly to learn about different organizations and meet individuals that may lead me to an entry position in winter or spring 2019 around my fields of interest. I've attended The Meal Exchange National Student Food Summit in spring 2017 with the purpose of exchanging ideas with like-minded students working in campus food systems. I'd like to do that at FSC Assembly as well, however, with graduation on the horizon I'm attending to network!  

I have experience in the field of community-based food systems, where I have worked coordinating a farmers market, running community kitchen programming, managing a collective garden and taken a classes in horticulture and sustainable agriculture. I've also taken a few urban planning courses in Urban Design and Environmental Policy and Planning. I'm flexible about location! I also grew up speaking french fluently, however, my writing is an intermediate level. 

Say hello if you see me and have read this!
