I recently graduated from a Sustainability Planning Masters program, and have been working for a few different organizations planning environmental initiatives, writing grant proposals, and training documents. I have three separate but connected areas of interest (and experience):

1)Sustainability planning- working with organizations looking to plan strategies towards sustainability.

2)Human needs & wellbeing research- investigating how organizational policy can better address the needs of those involved, and what indicators can be used to measure this

3)Technical aspects of green infrastructure, particularly green buildings and heating systems (mechanical engineering aspects)

I am currently working in Toronto on short-term contract and would be interested in work relating to any of these areas.
