- Based In Toronto
The way our built environment is planned and designed heavily influences our daily lives and decision making process when it comes to travel. I moved to Canada in 2017 and ever since, active transportation has become an increasingly important part of my life. I am motivated to help create a safe, comfortable, and stress free environment in which everyone can choose active transportation for their travels.
