That’s why I organized an event to protest a road through a public park in my neighbourhood. The event drew a crowd of 150 people, secured over 750 petition signatures, and accomplished its aim of having the developer revise its site plans. Learn how we saved Besserer Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edc4cc1ae18c170a5f6c486/1592137201298-84SZKMKRS522VJDMZZBZ/test2.png Home - Planetary Health Case Studies The Planetary Health Alliance at Harvard University was looking for a journalist to write stories about the connection between human health and man-made environmental change. Travelling from Madagascar to Fiji, Chile to Sri Lanka, I spent 14 months creating these educational case studies for a Harvard University undergraduate course. The 10 case studies are a marriage of scientific data and storytelling, ensuring students have not only the academic background but also the empathy and understanding to think about the urgent challenges facing our planet.

The project: create a media reference guide to support journalists and other communicators in reporting on and alongside trans and gender-diverse folks in a way that values dignity, inclusion, accuracy, and respect. Shaped by these conversations, I wrote the content for the site below. Visit the Media Reference Guide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5edc4cc1ae18c170a5f6c486/1603984850346-N70Q6QHRKKSXTLHV4T1B/GBAY-1.jpg Home - Impact Storytelling: Laidlaw Foundation The teams I support do incredible work, but don’t always have the capacity to showcase it. Drawing on my experience as a journalist, I write stories and profiles that illustrate the impact organizations have on their communities and our shared planet. For Laidlaw Foundation, I wrote about the Georgian Bay Anishinaabek Youth (GBAY), an Indigenous youth-led initiative that received Laidlaw funding.
