Justin brings experience managing research and public relations projects to his role as Manager, Policy and Development.

Prior to completing a Master of Environmental Studies focusing on environmental justice, community development and the cognitive structures of environmental ideologies, Justin spent six years working in higher-education research and advocacy in Ontario and Alberta. During this time, Justin was fortunate to manage a team of researchers and communications professionals to promote affordable, accessible and high-quality post-secondary education.

Having previously focused his studies at the intersection of economic and environmental equity and community building, Justin is passionate about working with partners, learners and members to create the conditions to successful address the complex challenges we face.

Outside of work Justin spends time chasing frisbees, wandering in forests with his toddler, and getting distracted by wildlife. Justin lives in Kitchener with his fantastic partner Samantha and the amazing Morgan Glory.
