Biography

As the Project Manager, I provide research support and collaborative implementation strategies for university-wide Indigenous initiatives, including the Indigenous Plan. I am Métis from Treaty Four and a member of Cowessess First Nation (last names Pelletier, Desjarlais and Lavallee) on my mother’s side, and German ancestry on my father’s side. I am grateful to be able to contribute to the important work this office is undertaking.
