Global Shaper · 2026 – present
Equipping youth and newcomers to support communities most affected by extreme weather, and holding facilitated cross-difference conversations on climate, polarization, and collective action.
about the project
I'm one of 32 members of the Vancouver Hub of the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers, a global network of young leaders working on local and global challenges. My contributions sit across two of our flagship initiatives.
climate migration & emergency preparedness
A workshop series for newcomers (co-developed with Indigenous communities) that prepares youth to support vulnerable communities through heat waves, wildfires, and other extreme weather. We pair the workshops with the distribution of multilingual emergency kits in neighbourhoods most at risk.
bridging dialogue
A Hub initiative that hosts facilitated cross-difference conversations on complex social issues. Our flagship Pacific Northwest Climate Week event in July 2026 centred on climate, polarization, and collective action, bringing organizers, researchers, and community members into one room.
