ABOUT
ABOUT ME
I strive to be mindful and intentional about my actions, and what legacy I will leave behind. I truly believe that is a basic tenet to any type of sustainability work. Ultimately, we want to be good and do good, but sometimes we need a little help along the way.
Our impact on society (whether it be economic, social or environmental) requires thoughtfulness, using a balanced approach - incorporating creativity, leadership, inclusiveness, resourcefulness, experience, and simplicity.
​
That’s where I can help. I am an experienced corporate sustainability specialist, media spokesperson, entrepreneur, and consultant, who drives global behaviors and practices.

As the former leader of sustainable practices for the majority of IKEA retail outlets around the world, I advocated for government policies supporting eco/social-positive change, built collaborative efforts between the non-profit and corporate sectors, and spearheaded internal change through education and communication initiatives. Multi-level engagement, collaboration, and education are central to the success of my sustainability strategies.
My entrepreneurial career began when I opened a chain of retail outlets when I was just 18 years old. During my Master’s degree in Environment and Management, I gained valuable experience working as a sustainability planning consultant for municipalities, cities, and conservation areas. I then honed my experience and talents working for IKEA both in Canada and at a global level. Presently, I work as a consultant to help organizations create a sustainable and long-term future – with a focus on the impact of its products and services, operations, and community work.
I have a passion for collaboratively creating a positive and lasting impact. I look forward to working alongside you and your team!
