During her near decade of experience with WWF, Jessica has managed a team of thematic specialists focused on Arctic conservation, managed large granting programs and collaborated in the development of projects focused on international mining issues.

Prior to joining WWF-Canada, Jessica worked in the United Kingdom on sustainable transportation and with two non-governmental organizations focused on urban development and poverty alleviation in South Africa. She holds a Masters in Environmental Studies from York University and a BAH from Queen’s University.
