From the beaches of Jamaica to the forests of Canada, Shadae has always been inspired by the power of nature to bring people together. With a B.Sc. in Biological Sciences from MacEwan University, she combines her love of science and sustainability with a deep belief that education is the missing link between people and the environment.

As the founder of a social enterprise, she found a way to bridge that gap—engaging youth in sustainability and reforesting areas impacted by wildfires. Now, as Project Forest’s Administrative and Rewilding Assistant, she’s excited to help create a greener future where success is always rooted in community. Her happiest moments? Traveling to new places, embracing new cultures, and unwinding by the beach, her forever happy place.
