Sarah Gutzmann

I’m a Masters of Resource Management (MRM) student. I am a second generation settler of mixed Scottish, German, and English ancestry. I am privileged to live on xʷməθkwəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and Səl̓ílwətaʔ/Selilwitulh (Tsleil-Waututh), kʷikʷəƛ̓əm (Kwikwetlem), q̓ic̓əy̓ (Katzie), qʼʷa:n̓ ƛʼən̓ (Kwantlen), qiqéyt (Qayqayt), and Stó:lō Nation territories, and research in partnership with the Kwagu’ł (Kwakiutl) Nation. I thank the original caretakers of the lands and waters on which I learn and grow.

I am inspired, reminded, and motivated daily to tread lightly on this Earth, and to honour my connections with fellow humans and more-than-human relations. I am an environmental scientist by training and am passionate about addressing social-ecological challenges through coproducing knowledge and supporting place-based decision making. When not working, you can usually find me exploring with my beagle, Tova.
