My work is at the intersection of education, research, recreation, leadership, and reconciliation. Across these spaces, I am interested in how we learn, gather, lead and work together in ways that are more caring, relational, and just.
Grounded in community, collaboration, and a commitment to decolonial practice, I am especially drawn to work that moves beyond performative commitments and toward meaningful relationships, shared responsibility and collective well-being that is alive to different ways of knowing.
This site is a home for that work. Here, you’ll find current and past projects, examples of teaching and curriculum design, research partnerships, facilitation work, and reflections on the people, places, and ideas that continue to shape my practice.
At the heart of this work is a simple but ongoing question:
How do we build futures rooted in care, reciprocity, justice, and joy?
