I am an educator, facilitator, and researcher with over twenty years of experience working at the intersections of education, social change, and collective well-being.

I founded Anayennisi as a regenerative field of practice to respond to the climate emergency and overlapping crises of our time. It is a space where scholarship and lived experience, systems and soul, ancestral wisdom and emergent creativity come together to foster life-affirming change.

My doctoral research at the University of Toronto, which received the Canadian Association of Curriculum Studies 2024 Dissertation of the Year Award, developed a framework for holistic climate justice pedagogies. Over the years I have worked with schools, universities, ministries, not-for-profits, and international networks to design curriculum, lead professional learning, and support systemic change. Alongside colleagues, I’ve co-created impactful climate justice initiatives at local, national and international levels. I currently serve as a Director of the Critical Thinking Consortium where I work collaboratively to advance its mission to nurture quality thinking that inspires action for a flourishing world.

I honour the wisdom of communities long impacted by colonial and extractive systems. As a woman of Greek ancestry living on Indigenous lands, I hold my lineages as living, sovereign traditions, and approach other traditions with the same respect. My practice is continually reshaped through learning with Haudenosaunee and Michi Saagiig knowledge keepers, and changemakers across multiple communities (particularly with those who have been historically marginalized). I do not speak for these traditions. I honour Black communities, including African, Caribbean, and wider diasporic lineages, and commit to practices that actively counter anti-Blackness. I honour queer and trans communities, whose ways of being unsettle dominant norms and offer vital insights for imagining and building more relational, life-affirming futures. Through Anayennisi, I host spaces for reflection, learning, strategy, and collaboration that meet grief with responsibility and orient toward regeneration.
