I am a versatile Indigenous Project Coordinator with a background in successfully executing diverse projects that work towards having Indigenous Peoples across Turtle Island be informed, resourced, united, and recognized to actively exercise governance and jurisdiction on Water. I am currently working closely with multiple First Nations communties in BC and would like to expand my scope and network. I am looking to further support Indigenous communities to build Blue Networks (freshwater and Marine) of Indigenous protected areas where they have full jurisdiction, authority and enforcement power. I am also interested if further supporting the integration of Indigenous Knowledge into Communities Monitoring and management systems.
