I earned my PhD in astronomy and astrophysics from the University of California Santa Cruz, and am the co-founder of Moonlight Institute, a non-profit that creates frameworks for an equitable and just future. I ran for parliament in 2019, served as interim leader of the Green Party of Canada from 2021-2022 and became the youngest, and first trans, non-binary, and East Asian person to lead a major political party in Canada. I have taken part in numerous theatre, music, and dance performances from opera and choral performance to shadow puppetry.

I am passionate about systemic and transformational change; building a world in balance and based on compassion. I have extensive public speaking experience on a range of topics including climate justice, mental health, grief, resilience, hope, policy making, and diversity in STEM.
