Researcher at the University of Calgary School of Public Policy, with an emphasis on social, immigration, refugee, and housing policy. Master of Public Policy from the University of Calgary Honours Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto in Anthropology. Former Client Support Worker in the immigrant-serving non-profit sector.
Son of two proudly Canadian parents, one a refugee, the other a child to a Scottish war bride and a Canadian country doctor. Brother to sibling who will forever be cooler than I am. Born and raised in rural mountain climes, with two years spent in the Arizona desert before getting my education and settling back West where I call home.
I love my city, province and country. There is nowhere else in the world which offers such a unique combination of geography, peoples, compassion, and opportunity. It's not perfect, but it's a start. I'm hoping I can payback some small part into making it better.
