She is a recent graduate from UVIC with a Bachelor of Science, majoring in Computer Science and minoring in Environmental Studies. Her passions and background lie in restoration ecology, ocean conservation, and sustainability. Over the past summer, she worked with the Sidney Aquarium as a Summer Educator, where she developed her passion for environmental education and love for all ocean creatures.

Kayley loves connecting with nature and her community, which is what she loves about working at YCC. She enjoys getting to learn from so many climate action leaders while also having the opportunity to gain hands-on experience in the environmental field. She is especially excited about the new Climate Friendly Homes Program the team is designing to help people make their homes more comfortable and climate-friendly. Creating this program has given her the opportunity to develop her skills and knowledge while also continuing to fuel her passion towards meaningful climate action and climate justice.

Outside of YCC, Kayley loves hiking, being near the ocean, and reading."
