Trained as an environmental scientist, my career has spanned research, advocacy, and philanthropy, with a particular focus on wildlife recovery and ensuring the rest of nature can thrive alongside humans.
I currently serve as Director of Stewardship, leading a private philanthropic program on behalf of founder and creative powerhouse Jérôme Mage. I help translate a shared commitment to wildlife conservation, land preservation, Indigenous allyship, and creative storytelling into long-term collaborations with inspiring scientists, change-makers, artists, and diverse nonprofits. My work centers on connecting exceptional people, ideas and projects with resources and relationships to expand their reach.
