Hi! My name is Gurneet (she/her), I live in Vaughan, ON, but study (virtually) in Halifax, Nova Scotia at Mount Saint Vincent University, where I am completing my MSc Applied Human Nutrition with a thesis focused on anti-racism in dietetics.
I have a passion for food security, social justice and community engagement, with diversity at the front and centre of it! Most of my organizing is in York Region, focused on social development, food and anti-oppression (organizations include: South Asian and Tamil Women's Collective; Social Planning Council of York Region + York Region Food Network). I recently became more civically engaged, and connecting youth with political engagement is a developing avenue of advocacy for me!
On a fun note, I enjoy the raptors, travel and trying my hand at art/creative projects at home.
