I have benefitted tremendously in my career from opportunities to engage and network with mentors and peers in the wildlife profession. I am committed to ensuring that future generations of students and professionals have the same opportunities that I have had through establishing and engagement with groups that provide these opportunities, such as The Wildlife Society. Below are some of the organizations that I am currently working with or was previously involved with.
Ontario Chapter of The Wildlife SocietyI am currently the Past-President of the Ontario Chapter of the Wildlife Society and have been an executive member of the Ontario Chapter since 2016 when I started as a board member. Myself and the executive team have been working hard to improve the network of wildlife professionals in the province and engage students, academics, government agencies, consultants, industry, and NGOs.

Waterloo Ecology NetworkCourtney Robichaud and I established the Waterloo Ecology Network at the University of Waterloo to improve communication between the Science and Environment faculties, but also for anyone interested in ecology across campus. We have developed seminar series, invited speakers, workshops, and working groups to improve the community of ecologists working at Waterloo.

I have also previously been a member of the Conservation Affairs Committee and many AGM planning committees. I served in an executive role as student rep in 2013/14 and as Secretary-Treasurer from 2014 - 2016.
