Growing up in a large city, I’d use any opportunity to escape into nature. That passion for the outdoors has led me to a career in energy conservation and climate change action planning. I collaborate with local and provincial level governments in implementing projects that lead to tangible greenhouse gas emission reductions and energy savings.

At FortisBC, we are building energy infrastructure in the province to ensure we meet our customers’ energy demands, today and in the future – safely, reliably and at the lowest reasonable cost. We deliver approximately 21 per cent of the total energy consumed in British Columbia, which is the most energy delivered by any utility in the province. Whether delivering electricity, natural gas or propane, our more than 2,200 employees serve approximately 1.1 million customers in 135 communities.

Integrated Ecological Research is an independent environmental consulting service based in Nelson, British Columbia. We specialize in the integration of field biology with modern statistical techniques as applied to terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. We implement projects where the design, field collection and analysis of data is done in a collaborative effort between field biologists and statisticians. This approach maximizes the realism and applicability of analyses as well as giving statistical direction to field efforts.  We have a substantial background in ecology, field biology, and statistics which allows us to apply statistical methods with knowledge of the ecology of organisms being studied, the constraints and limits of fieldwork, and the assumptions of statistical methods.
