About
I'm passionate about planning, designing, and investing better in our built environment. I'm particularly interested in the potential for behavioural and environmental sciences to find more innovative, effective and lower-cost ways of planning and running public infrastructure services. My role at WSP Canada is about designing a research program that will help us understand trends in the world, how they will impact our clients and their economic users, and how we can change our plans, designs and advice to make them more Future Ready. Also responsible for: - Designing WSP Canada's innovation platform and a new framework for our Scientific Research & Experimental Development Tax Incentive submissions. - Leading the City of Fredericton and St. Mary's First Nation Smart Cities Dashboard / Real-Time Census project, as one of 20 finalists in Infrastructure Canada's Smart Cities Challenge
