My work at Birds Canada involves planning and executing events, the coordination and evolution of the Toronto Bird Celebration, and managing the binocular kit program. It is exciting to be working with a team, and partners across Canada, that are passionate about urban natural environments, and making connections with wildlife accessible for all. My lifelong appreciation of the natural world stems from summers spent visiting family on – and exploring the shorelines of – Cape Breton Island, and the Ontario provincial park trips in my youth. When I’m not watching the feeder outside my office window you can find me reading, running a small baking business, going to galleries, and enjoying seasonal outdoor activities including: skating, snowshoeing, swimming, and camping.
