Invite me in
I'm always open to sharing what I know, and I'd welcome an invitation to talk about how we bridge the gap between industry, our youth and the communities of our region. Our young people deserve better, and together we can give it to them.
Train and facilitate
Cultural safety, team building and workforce readiness for major projects, industry and their crews. I've coordinated Indigenous Tourism BC training in Prince Rupert, Terrace and Hazelton.
Mentor our youth
I mentor young people myself, and I'm gathering a circle of mentors. If you'd like to mentor, or just talk with me about it, I'd love to hear from you.
Connect with communities
Building trust between projects, organizations and the First Nations and communities across our region.
Speak and share knowledge
Keynotes, panels, conferences, classrooms, boardrooms and community gatherings.
