My name is Dana and I'm a fourth-year student pursuing a BA in Environmental studies with a minor in Indigenous studies at the University of Ottawa. A fun fact about me is that I've studied glaciers in Iceland. Through the co-op program, I've had the opportunity to work on the Indigenous engagement team of the Greener Homes division at Natural Resources Canada. I am excited to be starting a position as a student researcher/policy analyst for the Net Zero Carbon Advisory at Environment and Climate Change Canada this fall. My community involvement has included co-chairing the climate working group of the Indigenous Leadership Action Team (ILAT) in partnership with the Kawartha World Issues Centre (KWIC) and GreenUP; being a youth member of the Peterborough Environmental Advisory Committee; successfully petitioning city council twice; and co-organizing a city-wide youth climate rally. Most recently, I've joined the uOttawa Sustainability Caucus and Women's Sustainability Network (WESNO). I am passionate about equality and the environment and look forward to engaging in climate activism and community here in Ottawa!
