About

As a proud member of Seine River First Nation, I am committed to advancing initiatives that improve the wellbeing of Indigenous peoples and communities. Through respectful engagement, meaningful partnerships, and advocacy, I work alongside Indigenous Nations and organizations to create opportunities that support self-determination and lasting, community-driven change. My experience in Indigenous relations, engagement, equity, education and behavioural support has shaped my approach to building strong relationships and advancing meaningful outcomes. I bring both strategic thinking and lived experience to my work, guided by a commitment to reconciliation, collaboration and Indigenous-led solutions.
