As lead author and photographer, I supported and documented the 15-year evolution of the First Nations Food Systems program during its pivotal transition to administration by I·SPARC. Drawing from over a decade of data and direct engagement with B.C. First Nations, this publication explores the program shift from small-scale gardening to a holistic reclamation of food relations—including ceremony, foraging, and traditional harvesting. The result is an advocacy tool designed to inform a self-determined, community-led future for food sovereignty in a "good way."

Working across seven UN agencies (including UNDP, UNICEF, and UN Women), I served as the lead author and photographer to evaluate the LECReD programme in the Republic of Maldives. This publication captures the practical local experience of communities facing extreme climate vulnerability. Through photography and stakeholder interviews, I documented how participatory planning can empower local councils to protect critical infrastructure, schools, health facilities, etc. The resulting document was designed as a strategic tool to inform the final phase of the programme and facilitate national scaling.
