My passion for empowering Indigenous learners stems from my own educational journey and professional experience as a teacher in Indigenous communities and programs for four years. I graduated from the University of Regina with a Bachelor of Education in 2018, and I continue to learn and grow as an educator and a career & employment services practitioner. I value making connections, nurturing relationships, and building on professional skills through the infusion of Indigenous knowledge and anti-oppressive practices. I strive to create a safe and supportive space for Indigenous folx to explore their career options and aspirations, whether that be one on one career coaching, or at a project implementation level.My career journey has led me to the Oyateki partnership as the Project Specialist. The Oyateki partnership builds on a history of collaboration across three partner institutions (Saskatchewan Indian Insititute of Technologies, University of Saskatchewan & the Gabriel Dumont Institute), the unique strengths and relationships that each institution holds, and a strong desire to create a more dynamic, integrated, wholistic and responsive education system that meets the needs of Indigenous youth. Oẏateki is a Dakota concept meaning all people together and leaving no people behind.Please feel free to connect if you'd like to know more about the Oyateki partnership.
