As the National Youth Executive with the National Association of Friendship Centres (NAFC), a facilitator with Len Pierre Consulting, and a North American Focal Point with the Global Indigenous Youth Caucus at the United Nations, I am deeply committed to advancing the well-being of Indigenous youth and urban communities—locally, regionally, nationally, and globally.
I currently serve as a Eureka Fellow, focusing on Indigenous youth access to culturally safe healthcare. In addition to my advocacy work, I am also a Youth Advisor to the Fraser Region Aboriginal Friendship Centre Association (FRAFCA), where I support initiatives that create safe, inclusive, and empowering spaces for urban Indigenous youth.
With a Bachelor’s degree in Political Science from Kwantlen Polytechnic University, I bring a strong foundation of knowledge, combined with lived experience, to everything I do. I am passionate about Indigenous cultural safety, anti-racism education, and creating intergenerational learning opportunities.
My work has taken me to international platforms, where I’ve represented Indigenous youth at the United Nations Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues (UNPFII), the ECOSOC Youth Forum, the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW), the CSW Youth Forum, the High-Level Political Forum (HLPF), and the UN Global Plastics Treaty negotiations (INC-5.2). I continue to advocate for Indigenous rights, youth leadership, gender justice, and climate action on the world stage.
