Summary

I have been in the Human Services for multiple years and I've enjoyed the field and I'm knowledgeable about issues that are in our first nation communities. I have worked doing a number of jobs within the agencies that employed me. I'm always willing to learn new things to help better serve our first nations people. I am a strong believer in our youth and families in supporting them to be the best that they can be.
