Wade is a Vancouver-based arborist and environmental educator whose work bridges outdoor learning, ecological literacy, and community engagement. With roots in urban forestry, he helps people build deeper relationships with the natural world through storytelling and hands-on knowledge.
He also explores tarot as a reflective and creative practice — blending symbolism, queer theory, and guided conversation to support personal growth and meaningful connection.

She currently serves as OT Team Lead at Tall Tree Integrated Health Centre and Clinical Lead at West Coast Client Services Society, where she supports Canadian Veterans experiencing homelessness and complex health challenges.
