🌲 I am dedicated to advancing nature-based health interventions through research and practice, including establishing Metro Vancouver's first designated Silent Trails. My doctoral research at UBC's Faculty of Forestry investigated forest-based immersion practices and the impact of environmental and vegetation factors in urban forests on physiological and psychological health outcomes. This research contributes to our understanding of nature-based public health solutions. With certifications as a Forest and Nature Immersion Guide trained in both Japan and Canada, I bridge the gap between research and practice. 🌍 My interdisciplinary and global background spans environmental education, technology leadership, and community science. I co-founded VC-backed educational technology startups (KitHub, Connected Camps), held leadership roles at UC Irvine's Digital Media Learning Research Hub and Microsoft and was board chair for Los Angeles Makerspace - a collaboration with the LA Public Library that promotes STEM opportunities for underserved children. Recent Achievements: - Successfully defended my PhD dissertation, " Forest Bathing in Metro Vancouver: A Randomized Crossover Study Examining Health Outcomes and Environmental and Vegetation Influences." - Led the implementation of the Silent Trails pilot program in collaboration with Metro Vancouver Regional Parks - Developed a forest therapy mobile application with UBC Emerging Media Lab Research Interests: - Nature-based public health interventions in urban settings - Trail assessments, including environmental and vegetation factors - Technology integration in nature-based health solutions Speaking Engagements: - IUFRO - World Conference on Forests and Parks for Public Health - Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute - Caltech - SXSW - The White House Volunteering: - Community Science Educator at Safecast - Certified Teacher and Science Fair Judge at GLOBE - Judge at Youth Science Canada - Forest Bathing Guide at Pacific Spirit Park Society 👋 I am always looking to meet others who share a passion for accessible nature-based solutions for public health and community well-being. Let’s connect!

I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that.
