Ashtyn’s passion for the environment and sustainability led her to a degree in Environment and Urban Sustainability at Toronto Metropolitan (formerly Ryerson) University, as well as a post-graduate certificate in Sustainable Waste Management from Fleming College; she also has an undergraduate degree in History. Ashtyn’s work experience in waste management and environmental outreach has let her live in Ontario, British Columbia, Quebec and Manitoba and allowed her to continue growing and pursuing her passion by leveraging her education and further developing her knowledge and skills in this area.
In her spare time, Ashtyn has been an active member of Climate Justice Toronto, as well as other environmental organizations, and regularly volunteers with her local political party. She loves the outdoors, especially being close to water. Ashtyn is also very interested in sustainable agriculture and frequents local farmers’ markets as often as possible. Ashtyn is very excited to have been offered this internship which will allow her to combine her background and interest in the environment with her passion for climate and social justice. She is especially looking forward to the opportunity to make a difference at the community level.
