About
I am a PhD candidate in the department of anthropology at UBC where I study green hydrogen developments in Canada. My research and advocacy are interdisciplinary in nature as I critically investigate issues surrounding power, technology, and the reproduction of green colonial capitalism in the context of the energy transition.
I am the recipient of the 2023 Pierre Elliott Trudeau Scholarship and I am affiliated with the UBC Centre for Climate Justice. I am more than happy to help fellow graduate students apply to or be involved with these programs.
