Atiya grew up in Bangkok, Thailand, surrounded by her parents environmental projects. By the time she moved to Vancouver, this upbringing shaped her interests for a career in sustainability with a focus on the urban environment. After moving to Vancouver for university, she recieved her Bachelor’s degree in Urban Forestry with a minor in Landscape Recreation Planning from the University of British Columbia.
With her passion for green infrastructure planning, she completed her capstone on green infrastructure for stormwater mitigation, with a strong focus on social limitations identified around the proposals site. In addition to her work with natural resource consulting, she continues to volunteer for organizations involved in community engagement and invasive species removal, and gain more knowledge and experience with urban forestry services. When she’s not working, she can be found hiking Vancouver’s trails, working on a painting, or exploring the best of what the city has to offer. |
