Interests

Professional Interests

Maps, maps, and more maps! When I came accross the field of Geography during my time as an undergraduate, I was blown away by the concept of tying history, economics, and a general understanding of how the world works all to the spaces we live in.

Specifically however, I gravitate towards the environmental sector and ways to use GIS/Geo-data visualizations with aims to protect our planet.

Pairing this with GIS (Geographic Information Science), and the beautiful open source data visualizations we can make today in JavaScript, I hope to contribute to reducing the effects of climate change and promoting environmental protection in industry and government.

Personal Interests

Personally I love listening and playing music. I play the guitar (electric and acoustic), and recently took up the banjo.

Otherwise I love scuba diving (which has admittedly gotten harder since moving to Montreal which is frozen most of the year), watching nature and historical documentaries, cooking/baking, hockey, and cycling

Dive Photography

While living in Bali I was obsessed with diving and photographing the reefs and marine life. Check out the map below to scroll through some of the shots I took around Indonesia.

In my last year in Bali (2014) I won Ocean Geographic's "Young Photographer of the Year" award with the first photo viewable in the Gili Air photo slides.
