Welcome!

I’m a born and raised Yukoner and a plant ecologist by training (i.e. plant nerd). I focus my work on engaging people - their knowledge, skills, resources and ideas - in ecological restoration and environmental stewardship.

Most recently, I started a PhD adventure studying mine reclamation. Interested? Check out the discussion paper I just released here.
