Managing Director

My area of expertise is team building! Throughout my career, I have focused my energy on creating positive team dynamics. I believe that the impact an organization can have is dependent on the amount of communication that happens between team members. When you have a solid team, anything is possible!
As an educator by trade, I have seen the positive effect kids can have on this planet. Youth education that is fun and interactive is so important for creating future change. Kids are excited, interested, and eager about making the world a better place. When taught young, they can be leaders that WE, the OCEAN, the FOREST, and the EARTH all need.
Leave things alone! The ocean is a complex ecosystem, everything has a purpose and a function. When we take things from the ocean, we might be damaging the ecosystem and harming surrounding biodiversity. When at the beach, it’s best to leave your surroundings exactly as they are. Don’t take home the sea shells, leave the crabs alone, watch your step when swimming, and don’t catch the jellyfish! Most importantly, clean up after yourself and leave the area exactly as you found it.

Operations Coordinator

I have been fortunate enough to study, volunteer and work with several organizations that are dedicated to environmental education and conservation work. It inspired me to go to school and complete a diploma at BCIT in resource management. I am happy about contributing to Sea Smart and supporting their mission to achieve their goals.
Growing up in Vancouver, I have always loved to be near the water and have always had a passion for the creatures within. Learning all that I could about fish, whales and seals, I started to understand that even small changes can lead to big impacts for our oceans. I hope to help inspire kids and those who are kids at heart to make meaningful and lasting change that the ocean needs to continue thriving.
It is really simple to make your own effective household cleaning products (and cheaper too). Take some time to research how to make your own all purpose cleaner, laundry soap or dish soap. They are just as powerful and better for the environment overall.
