About me
I am a proud generalist, with unlimited curiosity and driven by my values.
Formally, I am trained in public health, psychology, and anthropology; informally, I am still in training and constantly learning from coursework, books, podcasts, films, and the grounded expertise of communities.
Reciprocity is important to me, which is why I have volunteered and worked as a coach, tutor, and mentor for the past decade with a range of clients.
To learn more, here is my abbreviated resumé and my LinkedIn.
I work on the unceded territories the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations who continue to be in relationship with this land.
Active displacement continues to this day in our institutions and neighbourhoods; in spite of this, Indigenous sovereignty, resurgence, and revitalization is strong here — vibrant and thriving.
As an immigrant settler to Turtle Island, I have benefited personally and professionally from the historical and on-going displacement of Indigenous peoples from their home territories where I grew up and received my training, including the Blackfoot, Nakota, Cree, Kanien'kehá:ka, Algonquin Anishnaabeg, Inuit, and the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples.
Miigwech, qujannamik, hay’sxw’qa for all that you have taught me.
