Our staff members are responsible for carrying out the day-to-day and long term initiatives of the BRWA (as determined by the Steering Committee). They also work with subcommittees to carry out work on existing projects and discuss new ones. There are two staff positions at the BRWA.

I am very excited to be joining the BRWA and engaging with all citizens of the Watershed community to advance sustainable use and stewardship of the watershed. I am originally from Toronto, but have spent much of the last ten years in Nova Scotia (with stints in Thunder Bay and Toronto). I received a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences from the University of Guelph in 2001 and a Masters of Environmental Studies from Dalhousie University (Halifax) in 2005. Since then I have worked with non-profits, academia, and government coordinating and conducting multi-stakeholder science and policy research, environmental assessments and monitoring, and conservation planning related to water management, marine and freshwater ecology, invasive species, species at risk, impacts of oil spills, and marine renewable energy. I am an avid animal and nature lover and spend much of my spare time hiking, playing with my cat and volunteering with animal rescue organizations.

I am very happy to have the chance to work with the Beaver River Watershed Alliance to maintain and improve the ecology of the Beaver River Watershed by educating and engaging the community on sustainable water management and land use practices.  I am originally from the Midland, Ontario area and have spent the past four years completing my Honors Bachelor of Environmental Management (specializing in wildlife management and conservation) at Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, Ontario. During my time in university I worked as a Naturalist at Awenda Provincial Park where I was able to engage with and provide educational programs to park visitors.  I love nature and wildlife, as well as working and playing outdoors; in my spare time can be found horseback riding, canoeing, kayaking and hiking.
