I'm currently working on many types of Civil projects, currently Battery Energy Storage Systems, so my interest is in to gain more Clean Energy Projects, especially for Indigenous communities. I am a First Nations/Indigenous person from T'it'q'et of the St'at'imc Territory, and I live and work on the unceded traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. I am considered an expert in operating Civil 3D software and I would also like to mentor Indigenous youth to pursue careers in science and engineering.
