Vinnie Kumala, Junior Data Analyst
Postgraduate Certificate Student, Research Analyst | B.A., English Literature/Anthropology
Having worked in various industries over 4 years in office administration, project management support, and being a jack-of-all-trades person, Vinnie decided to return to school as a research analyst and pursue her passion in working for causes she cares about through research.
Vinnie grew up in Indonesia, Southeast Asia where energy resources is a major and evolving industry. She believes that local communities must be actively involved in decision-making processes on energy resource development to ensure their livelihood and authority on issues that directly affect them. Since immigrating to Canada, Vinnie has volunteered in groups and organizations that advocate for racial equity, LGBTQ rights and acceptance, and accommodation for newcomers in Canada, mainly at Planned Parenthood Toronto.
Vinnie previously worked as an intern at Iron & Earth, and is excited to rejoin as a Junior Data Analyst to support worker-led initiatives for climate solutions and consultations with local communities.

It falls to all of us to continue the work of healing and reconciliation in our communities and our organizations. Our relationship with the land and the people who live here shapes who we are. It is in the spirit of reconciliation and honouring the past that we recognize treaties and agreements wherever they are and wherever we work.
We also acknowledge all peoples who live, work, and play on this land, and who honour and celebrate this territory.
As individuals and teams we may make mistakes along the way, but we are dedicated to growth, openness, compassion, and forgiveness. These principles in our work are essential to building successful and healthy relationships with individuals, communities, organizations, and governments.
We look forward to building a path to lead us to a better relationship with Indigenous nations and the environment around us based on peace, friendship, and respect.
