Biography

I am a PhD student in Geography and hold a Bachelor's in Landscape Architecture from the University of Guelph and a Master's in Urban Design from the University of British Columbia. My research looks to explore the first-mile/last-mile problem and multimodal/active transportation in urban environments. I am interested in leveraging my design education to inform research on built-form interventions that encourage the uptake of active transportation in the first/last mile and promote positive long-term health outcomes
