Brittany cares deeply about environmental and social justice issues. This passion drove her to pursue a Masters in Environmental Studies from York University and a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and International Development Studies from Dalhousie University.
She’s particularly interested in food systems, wildlife conservation and climate change, and is the Senior Good Food Program Lead at Meal Exchange, a national charity that inspires and empowers students and campuses to create healthy, just and sustainable food systems. Before that, she worked for the Atlantic Canadian Organic Regional Network, where she planned educational programs for farmers.
Brittany has also been involved with numerous other environmental nonprofits and initiatives, and most recently with Climate Justice Toronto.
After working full-time with nonprofits for the last four years and being active in environmental movements for over a decade, Brittany wants to learn how organizations can become more sustainable and impactful in creating the change we want to see in the world. She has also watched many talented people burn out in the sector. In this program, Brittany wants to explore how to foster organizations with healthy organizational cultures where people can grow, thrive and see meaningful impacts from their work.
