I have been working as an interdisciplinary artist, communications strategist, and researcher for over a decade focusing on environmental governance, social movements and human rights. I work best in collaborative, interdisciplinary settings and enjoy experimenting with a range of engagement tools/artistic mediums to conceptualize solutions to major cultural-ecological planning and design challenges.

I am currently a PhD student at UBC's School of Community and Regional Planning (SCARP) researching Coastal Adaptation and Indigenous Governance, and a Pacific Institute for Climate Solutions’ (PICS) scholar with the Living With Water* Project. I am a dual Canadian and Norwegian citizen, and live by Sproat Lake, on the home of the Tseshaht (c̓išaaʔatḥ) and Hupacasath (Hupač̓asath) First Nations in the traditional, unceded and unsurrendered territories of the Nuu-chah-nulth peoples in what is now known as the Alberni Valley on Vancouver Island.

My written work, film contributions and photos have been published/exhibited at The London International Documentary Film Festival, The Centre for Performance Research (NYC), The Georgia Straight, the Vancouver Art Book Fair, Nowness.com, Booooooom.TV, Cannes, The Guardian, Vice, HoBo, The Toronto Public Library, Huck Magazine, ORB - and for Norsk Billedkunst, Dagens Næringsliv, Bergens Tidende + more in Norway.
