I am an exercise scientist with a passion for research, knowledge translation, and education. I moved from my Biology degree to a PhD in Kinesiology because of my fascination with the effects of exercise on physiological function. I am a researcher and an educator —I understand the importance of accessible, high-quality, post-secondary education. My deep personal connection to nature and landscapes has shaped my commitment to sustainability. As a senior leader in higher education, my goal is to translate my work into better outcomes for the planet by fostering science literacy and helping people understand and value research and education.

I'm an academic, artist, and adventurer and I’m passionate about the intersection between STEMM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics, and medicine) and social work. I majored in Biochemistry and Chemical Engineering and completed my doctoral research in the field of regenerative medicine, working to advance cell therapy for type 1 diabetes. Throughout my post-graduate career, I've advocated for increased awareness and support for mental health, accessibility, and intersectional frameworks in academia. Empowered by Homeward Bound, I am now pursuing a career as a leader who influences and builds sustainable policies, practices, and structures to foster a more equitable scientific landscape for all.

Amy is a hydrologist interested in how water moves through a landscape; a curiosity sparked as a Saskatchewan farm kid. She recently completed a PhD in forest hydrology from the University of Alberta and currently works as a consultant at a small company with large hydrological expertise. Previous work has taken Amy across the Saskatchewan prairies and into the Boreal Plain, over to the Alberta Foothills and through the British Columbia Rocky Mountains. Her passion is to understand the hydrological and ecological processes that underlie the structure and function of ecosystems to solve complex watershed management issues to ensure water security and forest integrity into the future. Amy recognized that forests need more women to speak up for them. When not listening to trees, Amy adventures in a canoe or on skis, and knits when it is too cold to play outside.
