I grew up on a farm in Chatham-Kent, Ontario, where agriculture became a central part of my life from an early age. I completed my first post-secondary program at the University of Guelph’s Ridgetown Campus in 2016, and in 2018 I returned to school to pursue the Environmental Technician – Protection and Compliance diploma at Canadore College, graduating in 2020. I continued straight into the Advanced Diploma in Environmental Technology to deepen my technical and environmental expertise.

Over the years, I’ve worked in various roles across both the agriculture and environmental sectors, becoming something of a jack-of-all-trades. My experience spans GIS mapping, grant writing, nutrient management planning, and wetland evaluations, giving me a well-rounded foundation in both practical fieldwork and regulatory requirements.

With this company, my goal is to use that broad expertise to support farmers in tangible, meaningful ways—helping them access funding through program consultation, strengthening the environmental compliance of their livestock operations, and designing constructed wetlands to treat livestock and agricultural effluent. Ultimately, I’m committed to bridging agricultural productivity with environmental stewardship.
