My name’s Caitey,

and I’m on a quest to protect and support our natural spaces.

Hi! I’m Caitey.

For the past decade, I’ve worked in marketing and communications helping entrepreneurs build businesses that are making a difference in the world. They’re extraordinary human beings pursuing their dreams, and now they’ve inspired me to follow mine.

My objective: to make a meaningful contribution protecting the forests and natural ecosystems in BC.

As a Forest & Natural Areas Management student, I’m looking to gain hands-on experience working in forests, parks, trails and natural spaces. Read on to learn what I have to offer!

Psst… Here are some of my skills

Lightning-Fast Learner

My active listening skills help me pick up new skills super quickly. I’m also an avid self-teacher.

Fun Fact:

I taught myself HTML when I was 12 years old. More impressive: I enjoy doing my taxes. (Guess which skill has been more useful.)

Clear Communicator

Whether written or spoken, I’m capable of getting important points across clearly and diplomatically.

Fun Fact:

I also know a little French! (Je parle un peu de français aussi!)

Resilient & Patient

I may work fast, but I’m no stranger to long-term, deeply detailed projects. I’m not afraid to put in the hard work.

Fun Fact:

I once planned and hosted a four-day online marketing summit with 16 speakers (by myself).

Work hard.
Play hard.
