Academic Biography

I am interested in how people around the globe are working together to address common ecological, socio-economic, technological and political dilemmas and controversies. I have lived in 5 Canadian provinces and lived and worked as a teacher and researcher in India, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mongolia.

My training is in urban planning (BES Waterloo; PhD Hong Kong) and resource/environmental managment (MRM SFU) and I have research training focused on urban infrastructure (Postdoc, Concordia CES) and neighbourhood liveability and soundscapes (Research Fellow, NTU Singapore).

My teaching experiences have connected to the above research interests and I have previously taught and supervised undergrad students (KPU Geography & the Environment; KPU Policy Studies) and masters students (RRU, School of Environment & Sustainability).
