Why
This project was the most rewarding experience of my undergraduate degree! I love independent publications, I'm very passionate about the environment, and when presented with the option to lead my own project in my last year as an undergrad I jumped at that opportunity.

Why
I had only been a symposium editor for about a week in March 2020 when York closed its physical doors due to the pandemic. The symposium director was ready to postpone the event until we could have it in person, but I knew it was possible to host a digital symposium. I was a catalyst for York University's first digital symposium and worked with a team to make the event happen.
I asked to join the following year's symposium as a mentor to help troubleshoot tech issues (including during the live event) and supported coordinators with unifying design ideas. Check out the York University 2021 Symposium, Liminalities!
