Emma grew up in Toronto and later moved to Halifax where she attended Dalhousie University, graduating with a Degree in Environment, Society, and Sustainability and International Development Studies. These two degrees offered her a great perspective on social and environment justice and deepened her understanding of complex environmental and social issues. While at Dal, Emma used her passion for cooking and food by working at a local package free bulk store, The Tare Shop. Emma is hoping to use her experience working for a small business that was focused on increasing local food security and sustainability on the TYFPC! When not working and learning, she was exploring the East Coast with friends and eating lots of oysters.
Back in Toronto, Emma enjoys visiting local farmers’ markets, cooking with seasonal ingredients, and spending time with her puppy, Walter.
Emma is excited to bring experience and passion for food sustainability to the fundraising committee and she is very excited to collaborate with the other Council members for the 2025/26 year!
