Patricia Matsumoto, PhD
 

Hello! I’m Patricia, a geographer deeply passionate about my career and everything I do.

​I am Brazilian but have lived in places where my career has led me, such as Australia and Puerto Rico, and I moved to Canada in 2021.

I am currently a Research Associate at the Wicked Problems Lab at Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, where I support students, faculty, and community members in addressing complex research challenges, with a focus on GIS-related issues. My work includes collaborative projects involving forests, Black communities, and local museums.

​I am a dreamer, love maps, nature, and discovering new places and people. I am also an enthusiastic swimmer and a big fan of Japanese cuisine, which explains why my dog is named Shoyu (soy sauce).
