“Often, vegan advocates assume that a person’s defensiveness is the result of selfishness or apathy, when in fact it is much more likely the result of systematic and intensive social conditioning.”

Climate change is a consequence.
Where you look at a problem conditions where you look for a solution.

Hiiii! After unexpectedly finding myself without a job for the first time in my professional career, I am looking for a new role effective immediately - one where I can do good, period.
🌟 PREFERRED ROLES (non-exhaustive!):
▪️Writer: technical, reports, newsletters, deep dives, articles
▪️Teacher/tutor: #German, #linguistics, language study; data analytics & literacy, #statistics
▪️Coach: #academia to what’s beyond; personal development; organization; task & project management; app setups & ecosystems
▪️Data analyst / data scientist
▪️Researcher / policy #analyst
🏢 PREFERRED INDUSTRIES & AREAS:
▪️Non-profit/not-for-profit & #advocacy. Broadly speaking: more just, sustainable, more good
▪️Tutoring, coaching, education (software, tools, instruction), academia
▪️Civic good, municipal affairs, local journalism, urbanism, environment/ecology
▪️Small tech/tech for good, FOSS/FLOSS, privacy, digital sovereignty
▪️Disaster management/prevention, emergency operations
(I have work, volunteer, and/or education/training experience in all of these categories - happy to share more!)
💪🏼 I’LL BE A FANTASTIC FIT IF:
▪️You suspect there’s a story in a heap of #data, but don’t know what it is - or how to coax it out. I’ll find it for ya.
▪️You need great visuals and tailored communication for any audience: clear academic reports, engaging tech newsletters, gentle introductions to complex topics, keynotes - I love ‘em all.
▪️You need someone to dig deep. I naturally follow up on every “huh, that’s odd - let me see what’s really going on there!”
▪️You want a critical thinker who gives honest advice. You’ll get the real deal.
▪️You like saying what you mean and talking to each other like real people. I can speak corporate, but I’d prefer leaving that seven-layer dip of jargon behind!
▪️Bonus: You suspect corporate AI may soon be unaffordable for most organizations, or the bubble may burst, and need someone who can do excellent work without chatbot crutches if needed.
⛔️ NOT LOOKING FOR:
▪️Roles where I’m expected to rubber-stamp work, go through the motions, or “put the data fries in the bag.”
▪️Cultures where manufactured emergencies are the norm and there’s no time to think, explore, or dig deep.
▪️Jobs where you can’t tell me what good I’ll do or where my positive impact will be.
🖥️ PREFERRED SETTING:
▪️Remote, flexible hours
▪️Contracts/project work; very open to a portfolio-style career
▪️Hybrid or “we get together sometimes” roles in the #Edmonton area
▪️I’m not chasing the corporate ladder; impact matters more. If it’s a good fit, I don’t care whether it comes with a “Senior” label.
#boostOK, and if you do, I’ll send all the good vibes so there may never again be an unexpected item in your bagging area. 💜
Hiring, or know someone who is? Please get in touch!

Reminder: You don't get to claim the title of "ally". It's something bestowed (or not) by the people you are *trying to* ally with.
Ally is a verb, not a noun. It's something you *do*, and have to keep repeating, for it to count. And only the people you're trying to help get to decide whether you succeeded.

Renewed attempt to stop coal mining in Rockies
Since 2020, coal mining has been especially contentious in Alberta.
