Hello! Welcome to my bio section of this website! Designed to highlight some of the struggles that women face daily regarding gender violence. I feel very fortunate to have been able to work on this project with a group of likeminded individuals who share similar interests as me. I hope you enjoy navigating our website!
A little about me:
I am a third year Political Science and Journalism student here at the University of Victoria. I enjoy travelling and learning about different cultures and societies since I grew up in a very small and close minded town called Pemberton, in British Columbia. I also enjoy reading and writing about important issue that influence the world around us. When I was 9 years old my parents took me out of school to go travel South East Asia for a year, which is what led me to become further interested in topics of gender and sexual violence. Since then I have also travelled to live in Guatemala for an extended period which is what influenced my research article that you can see in the ‘pages’ section of our website!
