She received her BFA in Visual Arts from Grenfell Campus, Memorial University of Newfoundland in 2018. Her research-based art practice has led her to partner with environmental scientists, cognitive psychologists, and horticulturalists, to consider the intersection of many different ways of looking at and interacting with the natural world.
