MESPOM Alumni Story: Transition to a career focused on environmental law and policy

“MESPOM gave me an excellent grounding in cutting edge environmental policy and management topics such as the circular economy. It also gave me the academic basis and opportunity to pursue a strong interest in just energy transitions, and I researched and wrote a book on this topic during the program. Together, this helped me obtain a selective traineeship after graduation in environmental law and policy at a Canadian environmental law centre, helping launch my career in this area. I continue to apply what I learned in MESPOM through my current work, helping Canadian indigenous peoples with environmental law matters such as addressing oil spills and combatting climate change.”
