About Me

My name is Jordan Bertagnolli. I grew up on the headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River in the community of Rocky Mountain House, Alberta. I studied Biological sciences at the University of Calgary. My undergraduate studies sparked an interest in the role ecosystem health and services have on our wellbeing. Currently, I am pursuing a Masters in Public Health; which involves looking at the environmental factors of human health.

Living with the Canadian Rockies at my doorstep has instilled in me an abiding appreciation for creation. Many of the activities I enjoy would not be possible without the protection of natural spaces for all Canadians. Although far removed from the coast, land-based practices can still shape ocean ecosystems. I am hoping through Ocean Bridge to engage my community in responsible environmental practices, showing how an Albertan’s everyday activities impact oceans.

I’m looking forward to working with everyone this year!
