Background

About Ariel Taylor

I love asking questions. I am driven to find answers by engaging with people, places, and publications that help me to understand and analyze complex problems. Whether it's identifying opportunities for innovation or supporting strategic and well-informed decision-making, I offer thoughtful and comprehensive research, communications, and stakeholder engagement skills. As a PhD candidate in political science I have contributed to numerous social science research initiatives for both public and private sector audiences. I have interviewed government officials, industry executives, and community leaders about issues including: consultation and social impact assessment; indigenous rights; immigration and refugee services; and urban planning. I have also written and published numerous reports and articles that address issues of public policy and institutional reform, both in Canada and internationally. My investigations have taken me around the world and back again, often with my notepad and camera in tow. Outside of detective work you'll frequently find me climbing mountains, pitching tents, and spinning around town on two wheels.
