I'm a leader with a proven track record of success in the business and non-profit sectors. I founded and led a successful business based in downtown Vernon (Summit Environmental Consultants), bringing more than thirty-five young professionals and their families to the community. I went on to build environmental consulting businesses across western and northern Canada. I'm a Professional Geoscientist, with extensive experience in Okanagan water issues, and I've made significant volunteer contributions to the community.

I'm a leader in addressing the impacts of climate change and reducing greenhouse gas emissions to make communities stronger and more livable.  Since 2018 I've served as co-chair of the City of Vernon Climate Action Advisory Committee, which developed the City’s Climate Action Plan, which was approved by Council in 2021.

Recently I've worked with Purppl, a Kelowna-based social purpose accelerator, to coach an Indigenous-owned environmental consulting business to help achieve long-term success.
