Biography

My research and teaching specializations are firmly rooted in Indigenous studies, with additional expertise in contemporary Métis studies. I am committed to a growth-oriented, decolonial, place-based teaching program. My previous and current research is centred on interdisciplinary collaborations with Indigenous organizations, including Métis Nation British Columbia. As a Métis person, I see myself as a bridge-builder and strive to create transformative research and learning experiences.
