A little bit about me…
I’ve grown up in the small town of 150 Mile House in central B.C. My hobbies growing up were selling chicken eggs, riding my horse Hero, and playing the fiddle.

I have had the true gift of growing up surrounded by First Nations culture.
My dad is a First Nations police officer. As my dad learned (and continues to learn) the dance between federal law and the conventions of the First Nations peoples, he was also working hard to understand his own Metis identity. It has been a privilege to learn through him, and to have the opportunity through the relations of his work; to attend Christmas potlatches, First Nations fastball tournaments, and Metis fiddling events on the reserves surrounding my town. As a future educator I feel obligated to accompany a role in this community as well.
Right now I have a dog named Sullivan and a cat named Polly!
