Summary

I grew up on the xʷməθkʷəyəm (Musqueam), Swxw̱ ú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) territories (Vancouver, BC) and now live as a settler on the unceded homelands of hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwxw̱ ú7mesh speaking peoples (Burnaby, BC). I am grateful for the opportunity to live, play and connect on these lands.

My experience working in the service industry as well as in the non profit sector has given me great opportunity to develop my skills in engaging and supporting my community through creativity, compassionate engagement and nourishment.
