Hi there! I'm Alex, a recent University of Guelph graduate with a background in economics, admin, and rural policy.

I am a 2026-27 Rural changemaker, and also an employee of ROI.

Before joining ROI, I worked everywhere from research stations in Algonquin Park to the Ontario Federation of Agriculture. I love getting into the details of a project, staying organized, and supporting work that makes a difference in rural communities. Outside of the office, you can usually find me hiking, biking, or stopping mid-trail to ID mushrooms.

Also, that's my dog. His name's Avi! 🙂
