Craft Beer City
I'm a geographer and PhD Candidate at the University of Victoria with research interests in the areas of placemaking, community planning, craft production, and the emergence of a phenomenology of place.
My current professional work offers a broad scope of expertise to coastal First Nations clients, governmental agencies, and industry partners. Projects I'm involved with at the moment include land use planning, UAV remote sensing, nearshore and marine mammal ecosystem monitoring, and development project management.

My dissertation is tentatively titled, Brewing Imaginaries: Locating a sense of city and the self in sites of craft production.
The purpose of this research project is to examine how craft breweries transmit a taste of place that is related to the sense of place cultivated at the brewery, and whether this contributes to change in the ways that small cities are understood and experienced.
