Summer grew up in London, England, and Kelowna, on the traditional, unceded territory of the Syilx Okanagan people, where she first became involved in youth climate and civic action. With a strong interest in human geography and systems thinking, she completed a BA in Environment & Sustainability with a minor in Geographic Information Systems from the University of British Columbia.
She is passionate about environmental justice, sustainable urban planning, and supporting communities on the frontlines of environmental challenges. Knowing that future generations are part of these communities, Summer is excited to help Be the Change Earth Alliance educate and engage young change-makers.
Outside of her work, Summer enjoys sewing, crocheting, and exploring the outdoors through hiking or backpacking.
