Leadership & Community

Beyond the University

My work is grounded not only in research and teaching, but in an ongoing engagement with community-based agricultural and educational initiatives.

President – Sutton Agricultural Society 2026/27

In my role as President, I support agricultural education and community programming, including the Sutton Fair Ambassador Program, which provides bursaries to support post-secondary education.

This work reflects my commitment to strengthening connections between agriculture, education, and community life.

Oxfam Learning & Donation Garden 2017/18

As Director of the Oxfam Learning and Donation Garden, I led the design and management of a campus-based food initiative that combined food production, education, and community distribution.

This experience continues to inform how I think about experiential learning, food access, and the role of education outside traditional classrooms.
