Publications
As a globally published author and an award-winning researcher, I am passionate about evidence-based advancement of disaster risk reduction and climate resilience as fields of practice. My research is applied and has been developed and implemented in partnerships with knowledge users (e.g, federal agencies, Indigenous communities, municipalities, NGOs, and decision-makers). Below you will find links to my published peer-reviewed academic work as well as knowledge translation samples.
