Bio

I am originally from St. John's, Newfoundland & Labrador, and I have a pre-law professional background in music. I studied law in Ontario at the University of Toronto, then articled with a Bay Street business law firm. After completing a PhD in law at Osgoode Hall Law School, I was a member of the law faculty at Western University from 2007-2017. I joined the Schulich School of Law in 2017 where I am a member of the Marine & Environmental Law Institute and the business law faculty, and a co-editor of the Ocean Yearbook. I have served as Associate Dean, Research (2019-2022) and previously held the Yogis & Keddy Chair in Human Rights Law (2021-2025). I am also currently a Distinguished Visiting Research Fellow with Macquarie University's Environmental Law Research Centre.
