I am Odawa-Anishinaabe Kwe from Wiikwemikong Unceded Territory. I am a public policy and research professional with over 20 years of experience working at all levels of government, including First Nations advocacy, and with a global professional services firm, where I focused on Indigenous public policy, thought leadership, and reconciliation.
I hold a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Victoria, studied law at the University of Ottawa, hold a Bachelor of Arts in Canadian Studies from Carleton University, and have a Diversity and Inclusion Certification from Cornell University.

With my cultural upbringing and teachings leading my approach, I am dedicated to supporting First Nations’ sovereignty and tapping into our people’s potential by collectively growing our capacities in ways that are human-centred, trauma-informed, and culturally relevant.
-
I offer professional services tailored to each client’s unique identity and needs, using a wholistic, supportive, and strengths-based approach. My mission is to help communities reclaim their cultural traditions and traditional laws through storytelling, translating that knowledge into impactful governance systems and leading policy innovations.
