Cassandra, known online as Conscious Cass, is a Toronto-based sustainable living educator, content creator, and event planner. After a decade of teaching math, at a school where she was also the Coordinator of Sustainability & Stewardship, Cass left the classroom to pursue her passion for protecting the planet full-time, working with a local non-profit that promotes veganism in Toronto as well as hosting events, workshops and doing public speaking engagements, all with the goal of building community around sustainable living in Toronto.

Cass walks the walk: she lives low-waste, eats a plant-based diet, and shops secondhand whenever possible. When she’s not tending to her beloved houseplants or borrowing her parents’ adorable dog Cooper for some outdoor time, you’ll find her swimming, baking to satisfy her aggressive sweet tooth, or planning her next adventure — with country number 20 on the horizon. She’s also a dedicated radio listener, always entering to win concert tickets or cash (which she has done successfully in the past). Equal parts educator and explorer, Cass proves that conscious living can be delightful and delicious.
