Juli's love for nature was nurtured during her childhood in Pokhara, Nepal, where she cherished the breathtaking views of Mt. Annapurna and treasured the treks and hikes with her father. This deep connection to the environment led her to study environmental engineering and later pursue a Master’s in Resource and Environmental Management at Dalhousie University. Juli has worked extensively in environmental advocacy, policy and climate change education, addressing issues like water and waste management, resource recovery and energy. Outside of work, she enjoys walks, hikes, painting and reading.
