Postdoctoral Fellow, Department of Geography and Environmental Studies, Carleton University
Freshwaters around the world are impacted by multiple co-occurring stressors and my research provides long-term perspectives about how aquatic ecosystems have changed over the last two centuries. My graduate research at Queen's University (Kingston, Ontario, Canada) examined the cumulative effects of climatic changes, resource extraction operations, and land-use activities on temperate and Arctic freshwater ecosystems in Canada. As an NSERC Postdoctoral Fellow at Carleton University (Ottawa, Ontario) and Mount Allison University (Sackville, New Brunswick), I am assessing microplastic pollution at the intersection of aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems; and I am also examining ecological recovery in Maritime lakes that were impacted by historical gold mining activities.

Lecturer in Recreation and Leisure Studies, University of Waterloo
My research focuses on the social impact of sport and its potential for positively improving the health and well-being of individuals and communities. While I acknowledge that sport is capable of having both a positive and negative social impact, my research examines how sport organizations can take a shared value approach that addresses competing stakeholder needs, provides a competitive advantage, and develops economic returns for an organization, while addressing social and environmental needs. This approach to corporate social responsibility (CSR) is distinct from the traditional viewpoint, which has tended to focus solely on an organization’s benefits rather than on the constituents for whom the programs are intended. By conducting program evaluations, I have been able to identify opportunities for inter-organizational relationships and have provided feedback to stakeholders with recommendations to ensure the initiatives are effectively helping their participants, thereby having the greatest social impact possible.
