Biodiversity & Ecosystem Services
‘Useful’ plants (i.e., food, medicine, materials) can be minimizied in biodiversity valuation. I investigate whether we can bridge biodiversity and ecosystem services.

Climate change effects on Alberta bird rehabilitation
In collaboration with the Alberta Institute of Wildlife Conservation, I created a framework to investigate the effects of the climate crisis on Alberta avian population. The goal of the project was to predict how changing temperatures would affect rehabilitation intake. Read more here .
Competition between invasive and non-invasive species

Through a systematic literature review, I created a framework that would respectfully braid in Indigenous Ways of Being and Learning within post-secondary institutions. I focused on how institutions can implement land-based learning in undergraduate specifically to foster a reciprocal relationship with the land. Read more here .
