Valeria is a Research Assistant at the Ivey Business School where she's involved with the research and development of the Deshkan Ziibi Conservation Impact Bond that is being piloted in southwestern Ontario by the not-for-profit, Carolinian Canada. In a project with many key stakeholders, her background in psychology provides a unique perspective in understanding how our choices and actions affect others. While she thinks globally, she acts locally, doing her best to contribute to her community. Beyond school, she spends her days being active and out in nature, doing film photography, drawing, and picking up new hobbies.
