Bio

Brittney was a MA student in the Institute for Resources, Environment and Sustainability supervised by Dr. Stephanie Chang. She was part of the Hazards Lab and her research interests revolved around disaster risk reduction, floods, and waste management. Her research at UBC focused on post-flood waste management systems and the challenges and barriers for effective flood debris to be removed from residential households. Brittney’s undergraduate degree was completed at the University of Waterloo and she did some research on government-sponsored home buyout programs during her time there.

During her undergrad, she also participated in an Arctic field course. She spent 10 days in the Canadian High Arctic and Greenland learning about physical and human geography. In her spare time, Brittney likes to take advantage of Vancouver’s warm winters and beautiful summers by going on hikes and gardening.
