Hi! My name is Francesca and I am in my first year at the University of Leeds studying Geography (BSc).  My research project focuses on understanding students' expectations of sustainability in their curriculum and experience at the University. The research intends to gain a well rounded perspective of sustainability practices across differing disciplines and use that knowledge to ensure that we are practicing what we preach and encouraging changes to better the curriculums towards a sustainable future.  I look forward to connecting with many like-minded individuals who are eager to make significant change and adapt the needs of humanity in this climate crisis. 

Welcome!! You can call me either Cothney or Theresa. Currently, a student at the University of Lille in France. I am navigating the intriguing nuances of researching in England, France, and Italy.

I am currently a undergraduate student at the University of Leeds pursuing a degree in International Business. With the Laidlaw Scholarship I have participated in two leadership development residentials with the Laidlaw team at Leeds along with my cohort. My research project was titled "Exploring the Most Efficient Mapping Techniques and Platform to Map Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)"  which was a insightful exploration of curriculum mapping and the possibilities for artificial intelligence to assist within the mapping process. My Leadership in Action is upcoming in 2025 and I will be working with Make_sense in Mexico focusing on climate impact.

Hello! I am a senior undergraduate student in the Psychology Research program at the University of Toronto. I am passionate about children's mental health and the many ways that youth can overcome adversity. I am especially interested in developing interventions that promote resilience for survivors of childhood adversity. I balance this emotionally heavy passion with a deep appreciation of the world of comedy. This entails performing comedic improvisations at various venues in the city. As such, I am also fascinated by the relationship between comedy and mental health. My Summer 1 research project explored the relationship between childhood adversity, childhood aggression, and childhood self-regulation. My Summer 2 Leadership-in-Action project involved me independently developing and implementing a comedy-based psychosocial intervention for teenagers experiencing adversity at SOS Children's Villages in Cape Town, South Africa.
