I am Secwepemc and an enrolled member of Lake Babine Nation.  I received my Doctor of Philosophy in Educational Studies from the University of British Columbia.  I am an Indigenous scholar-practitioner who wishes to provide continued support for the improvement of education, health, and overall socio-economic conditions of Aboriginal peoples.  My academic and research interests include intergenerational trauma from residential schools, culture and land-based identities, Indigenous self-determination, Indigenous Knowledges, Indigenous Methodologies and Indigenous voice.
