Okanagan Live Virtual Campus Tours Shadowing Coordination
Assisted in organizing a specialized training project that offers UBC Vancouver Campus Student Ambassadors the opportunity to observe Okanagan campus tours. This porject aims to enhance their understanding of the Okanagan campus experience, fostering greater awareness of the academic, social, and community opportunities available to prospective students across both campuses. The program strengthens cross-campus collaboration and resource/ knowledge exchange.
Research on Community-Based Conservation
For my GEOG 310: Environment and Sustainability class, I examined the effectiveness of community-based conservation (CBC) compared to protectionist models. I argued that CBC better supports Indigenous communities by involving them in conservation efforts, providing both ecological and economic benefits. Through case studies like the Lacandon Community Forest and the Maya Biosphere Reserve, I demonstrated how CBC can enhance biodiversity protection while empowering local communities.
False Creek: the Sea2City Design Challenge
As part of the Sea2City Design Challenge, I collaborated with CityStudio and the City of Vancouver on their coastal adaptation plan for False Creek. This project focused on evaluating the impact of sea level rise on vulnerable communities. I conducted site visits, reviewed design proposals, and critiqued the plans, particularly concerning unsheltered cyclists who were overlooked in the design.
Urban Warfare: The Case of Gaza’s Infrastructure
In a research project focused on urban politics and conflict, I authored a report titled "Urban Warfare: The Case of Gaza’s Infrastructure," which examines the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza, referred to as urbicide. Through this analysis, I investigated how Israeli tactics, including airstrikes and blockades, have targeted water, sanitation, housing, and electricity systems, creating a humanitarian crisis while undermining Palestinian urban resilience.
In-person Campus Tour Presentation
Delivered pre-tour presentations to prospective students and their families before the walking tour of our Vancouver campus. The presentations focused on three key themes—learning, location, and community—highlighting the those aspects of UBC.
Neoliberal Globalization Meets Settler Colonialism: The Case of the Jerusalem Light Rail
In my essay, Neoliberal Globalization Meets Settler Colonialism: The Case of the Jerusalem Light Rail, I analyze the role of the Jerusalem Light Rail (JLR) as a mechanism of Israeli settler colonialism in East Jerusalem. The paper investigates how the JLR serves as a tool for territorial control, connecting Israeli settlements while displacing Palestinian communities and reinforcing Israel’s authority over East Jerusalem.
What is Fast Fashion?
A research initative that led to the creation of an educational resource. The resource provides an introduction to the fast fashion industry and the environmental and social injustices cost of having a reliance on such an unjust and unsustainable system.
U.S Info Days Event
Prospective students from the US and their families joined us this fall to discover the University of British Columbia. Attendees toured our stunning Vancouver campus, engaged with current students and advisors, and learned about undergraduate programs, admissions, scholarships, and student life. The event featured a guided campus tour, interactive panel discussions, and opportunities to connect with other US-based prospective students.
UBC: Media Magnified
A team meeting activity that I faciliated designed to help Student Ambassadors feel more prepared when responding to questions related to social media or media coverage about UBC.
