Research Interests
 

Most generally, I enjoy studying the relationship between science and environmental policy. I tend to focus on international issues such as global climate change and their policy implications including the development of renewable energies. Currently my thesis work involves looking at the perceptions and realized impacts of wind turbines in rural Ontario.

Why Western

I really have enjoyed my experience at UWO. My advisor has been awesome to work with and the Geography department as a whole is a very social group of people. The 1st year retreat, "talent" show and Christmas trivia night (just to name a few) allowed me to learn the fundamentals of grad school while meeting a great crew of students, faculty and staff.
