COUNCIL

I am Emily Wren Jubenvill, although I am known to my Grandma as "Picklesnerp." As an green spaces advocate, permaculturist, knitter, guerrilla gardener, environmental scientist, entrepreneur, veloist, traveler, and lover of marine invertebrates and magnolias I keep my days fairly busy and live through my passions... I grew up on the North Shore of Vancouver, and Bowen Island. Spending weekends exploring tide-pools and studying biology at the University of Victoria, I had intended to make a career in marine biology. A second-year environmental science class deconstructed the current state of environmental and social issues of North America's food system, and this sparked a deep interest in sustainable agriculture. Soon after, I made the decision to transfer to Royal Roads University's environmental science program in order to gain a deeper knowledge of the science behind the planet's environmental issues with the hope that I could apply this to her new found passion in food systems.
