Explore serviceApproach
Community priorities guide the work.
I connect community priorities with the technical work of assessing major project impacts. Whether I’m planning studies, reviewing reports, or examining policy changes, I ask how the work accounts for people’s relationships with lands, the exercise of Indigenous rights, and community life.
I bring community knowledge and experience together with technical evidence to understand how projects may affect what communities value. I identify gaps, examine assumptions, and explain the implications for project choices, assessment requirements, and measures to address impacts.
