Hi there!

I'm Abigael - Scientist. Storyteller. Writer

I’m on a mission to carve out space in academia, industry, and policy for local voices to drive global change.

The land I live and work on is the unceded territory of the Mi'kmaq and has long been inhabited by the African Nova Scotian peoples. We are all Treaty people.
