Teagan was born and raised in a small town outside of Ottawa on the traditional, unceded territory of the Algonquin Anishinaabeg. She joined the Ottawa Climate Action Fund (a program of OCF) in October of 2022 as the Senior Program Specialist. She grew up learning to respect and love surrounding natural areas, and this led her to pursue a degree in Environmental Studies at Carleton University. Since graduation, she has been working in the environmental non-profit sector focused on creating change from the ground up. She is passionate about nature protection, climate action, building community and bringing all three together is what excites her most. On days away from the office, you will find her spending time with family and friends, walking her puppy and trying to get outside no matter the weather.
