Background

About Erin Heffer

I am a passionate, goal-oriented, and creative professional with a background in political science and a strong interest in climate justice, human rights, and cross-cultural engagement. A lifelong love of the outdoors - shaped by running, hiking, portage canoe camping, and travel - has fuelled my commitment to protecting the planet and better understanding the systems that affect it. Through my academic work and hands-on experience in guest services, I have developed strong communication, interpersonal, and conflict-resolution skills. I thrive in dynamic, diverse environments, and I am driven by a desire to make meaningful impacts through collaboration and thoughtful problem-solving. I believe that substantial change begins with human connection. I am eager to contribute to organizations working at the intersection of environmental sustainability and social justice - whether that’s through research, outreach, advocacy, or program support.
