Persia Khan

Wildlife Ecologist, Onsite Coordinator

Pronouns: she/her/hers

I am so thrilled to work with Girls* on Ice Canada and join the Kootenay’s team. Girls* on Ice is the perfect combination of my love for science and my recreational interests. My interest in ecology is fuelled by my passion for skiing, biking, running, and spending quality time in alpine places, and I can’t wait to facilitate mountain experiences for our participants.

Outside of Girls* on Ice, I am passionate about wildlife and recreation ecology. I’ve worked for Parks Canada and various non-governmental organizations collecting and analyzing wildlife data spanning from the Canadian Rockies to the coast of BC. I love observational and behavioural work, giving scientists a better understanding of the secret lives of wildlife.
