Kate is a curious problem solver who is passionate about building community resilience to climate change. Specifically, she hopes to contribute towards improving food security for all.

Kate grew up in Ottawa (Anishinabe and Algonquin territory) engaging in local and global social justice movements. This continued when she completed her B.A. (Hon) in International Development and Political Science at the University of King’s College and Dalhousie University in Halifax (Mi'kma'ki). Through informal and formal learning settings she learned (and continues to learn) about the intersectionality of climate change with systemic social injustice.
