Me in Brief

I am the Canada Program Coordinator with MiningWatch Canada and in this role am responsible for providing support to Indigenous peoples, communities and other stakeholders to respond to proposed, active or historic mining projects. I also participate in the development of policy to improve the social and environmental performance of the industry. With regard to business ethics I am interested in assessing the performance of voluntary CSR type initiatives vs. regulatory requirements and in exploring the range of levers available to improve the environmental and social performance of the extractive sector.
