I strongly believe that through collaborative efforts, action-oriented work and innovative solutions we can achieve higher sustainability and climate resilience across all sectors.
Grant Writing & Administration
I have acquired funding to support both my own research/work and that of others.

2021 - 2023: As the Lead of Social Impact Grants at Nada Grocery, I successfully secured and administered over $280,000 in wage subsidy grants and $400,000 in business scale-up funding. ​This support helped to establish and expand climate-friendly, circular practices in the Canadian food industry.

2013 - Present: To support my scientific work and graduate studies, I have secured over $130,000 in scholarship funds and $12,500 in research and travel support.
