My primary purpose is to improve access to primary care and provide opportunity for traditional wellness services closer to home in a culturally safe way. I will be going into community to help build a network between care providers and community wellness support(s); integrating a collaborative team that goes beyond standard clinician support.

I am Secwépemc from Esk’etemc First Nation, this is where I raised, and a part of many large families in the area. I grew up learning cultural practices and protocols from family members or elders from community.

My education background is Master’s in Health and Exercise Sciences and Bachelor in Human Kinetics: Health Promotion from the University of British Columbia – Okanagan. My main focus throughout post-secondary was Indigenous Health, specialized around physical health – hunting.
