Ocean Wise Ambassador Eco-Action Accelerator Cohort

A bit about me:

Hi! My name is Gabby and I’m from Unionville, Ontario. I recently graduated with an MSc in Water Science, Policy, and Management from the University of Oxford and have previously completed my undergrad at McGill University in Montreal, Quebec, majoring in Biology. My research interests include water quality, wastewater management, and marine biology. I am also an Olympic rower!

What gets me out of bed in morning?

Yummy coffee!

A fun fact about me:

I am also an alumni of the Ocean Pathways program, having had my placement at the Ocean Wise Plastics Lab. My work contributed to research on the ecotoxicology of microfibres in blue mussels and allowed me to train on a scanning electron microscope!

Ocean Wise is based in the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the xÊ·məθkwÉ™y̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and SÉ™lÌ“ílwÉ™taÊ”/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. We work across Turtle Island and beyond, supporting Indigenous peoples in their vital work on ocean conservation and biodiversity whenever possible or as we are invited to.
