Hi I'm Jeni,

Since 2014, I've worked as a licenced Private Investigator and Security Consultant, with seasonal contract wild firefighting. In 2022, I shifted into Emergency Management, first as an Emergency Management Coordinator for Canadian Red Cross in NS, then as the Emergency Management Coordinator for Malahat Nation.  

 

Resilience Lab is about accessible Security and Emergency Management design, language and implementation for communities, teams and organizations. My favourite thing is dusting off that binder with the standard 132-page “Emergency Plan” (Nobody reads this. Nobody.) and transforming the contents into a series of actionable, accessible steps that you can trust when you need them most. 

 

I’m FireSmart certified. I'm a mom and a Nana. I enjoy comedy writing, collecting beach glass, theatre and volunteering with ESS.
