Meet the DEAL Community

Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada

Post Graduate Diploma student in Professional Communication at Douglas College. Communicating the right things, in the right ways, matters to me. I am furthering my passion to make life-enhancing information more accessible with the use of ethical design and communication practices. My most recent post was as Bereavement Services Manager at Highland Hospice, where I led on the ethical redesign of our service to serve the needs of our community in its widest sense. This involved reflecting on what bereavement care is, who provides it, how we promote rather than undermine resilience, accessibility of support, how it can be accessed in local spaces, who potentially benefits and loses out and so much more. I’m deeply interested in my part in reshaping communities and societies to recognize our interconnectedness with each other, our surrounding environment and biosphere. I want to be part of the solution! Let's utilize AI in the right ways, for the right purposes!

I am a mechanical engineer with a passion for energy and a deep attention to ethics, sustainability and everything related to the positive development of humanity. I use this big term because I think that, in the present we live in, it is essential to think big, even by acting small. To the scientific, academic and theoretical training of the high school and the Polytechnic I have combined the humanistic, experiential and practical training of volunteering and journalism. I think it were these “added capabilities” in terms of soft-skills and communication that made me appreciated as a process engineer in the challenging production contest of Bormioli Luigi, where high quality requirements are combined with the need for continuous improvement. At the Politecnico di Milano I did a master's thesis on simulation tools for floating wind farms at the wind tunnel (GVPM). This was the culmination of a path in which I was able to face projects in the field of CFD, TRIZ and CAD, with experienc
