About
With my time at McMaster I have had the opportunity to explore and develop my interests in radiation science, environmental protection and community engagement. Throughout my work, I have developed a deep appreciation for the importance of understanding the people and environments we engage with, particularly in relation to Indigenous communities. I believe that Indigenous knowledge and perspectives are crucial for developing meaningful and sustainable projects that address complex challenges and promote environmental stewardship.
During my time at McMaster, I enhanced my written and verbal communication skills through presenting and organizing international conference presentations and workshops. I also had the privilege of fostering my leadership and teaching abilities as a post doctoral fellow in the McCall MacBain Post Doctoral Fellows Teaching and Leadership Program. This opportunity has supported my passion for education and outreach, particularly within the nuclear industry, where I believe clear communication and public engagement are crucial for fostering understanding and building trust.
I recently completed the Research Impact Canada's Knowledge Mobilization certificate course, MobilizeU. Knowledge mobilization is of increasing importance in the nuclear industry to best position all initiatives, research and innovation for maximum social impact. I am deeply committed to demystifying nuclear science and its applications by promoting accurate, accessible information that can empower individuals and communities. By educating others and encouraging dialogue, I aim to inspire curiosity, break down misconceptions, and contribute to informed decision-making around nuclear technology and its role in sustainable energy solutions.
These experiences, combined with my growing passion for community engagement, have strengthened my commitment to teamwork and collaboration. I recognize the importance of working within diverse teams to ensure that all voices are heard and valued. I am eager to bring these skills, insights, and values into the workplace, confident that they will contribute to both personal and organizational success.
