Background

Natalie has a PhD in Population Medicine from the University of Guelph, Canada. As an epidemiologist, she is comfortable applying both qualitative and quantitative research methods. She enjoys working at the intersections between southern organizations and northern communities; and science and Inuit knowledge.

Natalie has worked with community members and organizations across Inuit Nunangat since 2016. Her work on the Arctic Corridors and Northern Voices Research for Policy on Shipping Governance in Arctic Canada, as well as the Kangut project, involved partnering with Inuit youth, Elders and adults in 15 communities to document Inuit knowledge using participatory mapping, discussions and on-the-land trips. The Arctic Corridors project received the 2021 Governor General’s Innovation Award.

Natalie’s dedication to community engaged-research and her commitment to supporting Inuit self-determination in research provide tremendous mentorship and coordination capacity within our diverse team. You can read more about Natalie’s research in her ResearchGate profile.
