After working as a biologist for several years, Natalie felt limited in her ability to act on the environmental and social crises we face, as many of them require large systemic change. With a deep interest in food systems and their connection to social justice, climate change, and public well-being, she is currently pursuing a MSc in Agriculture at Dalhousie. Her research focuses on knowledge mobilization strategies to facilitate food system transformation. Natalie joined the Food Secure Canada Youth Caucus as co-chair to help bring more youth voices into discussions on food system futures.
She is based in Mi’kma’ki, but draws on her experience growing up on Haida Gwaii to envision resilient and vibrant communities. She is thrilled to be part of the Centre for Local Prosperity team, recognizing that solutions come from within communities themselves
