Sophia Gregory is a graduate planning student in SFU's MRM program. After completing her undergraduate degree in Agricultural and Environmental Sciences at McGill University, her passion for environmental science, community engagement, and sustainable development led her to small-scale farming. Later, as a Pathy Fellow, she co-founded a non-profit on Salt Spring Island, Neighbourhood Farm Schools, that delivers farm-based recreational and educational programs for youth. During her Master’s, she has worked for City of Prince Rupert on developing their first Natural Asset Inventory and has focused her research on the applications of nature-based solutions in rural and remote communities.
Research Project: Now, in her work with CERi and Ancestral Foodways Collective Society, Sophia looks forward to bridging the spheres of climate resilience, Indigenous food sovereignty, biocultural heritage, and urban ecological stewardship.
