About
About
I have been writing online since the early 2000s.
In the spring of 2022, I left a decade-long career in the public sector. I was a senior administrative leader (Indigenous Health) in healthcare during the COVID pandemic and was deeply immersed in emergency planning and response for over two years.
For over a decade, I have been a faculty member in various disciplines including Human Resources, Community Education, Communications, Tourism, and Interdisciplinary Studies.
I have over 20 years of experience in Instructional Design, workshop design, and facilitation. Close to 20 years of experience in community development and resilience work.
Before entering the public sector, I was a consultant with much of my work in and with Indigenous communities in western Canada. For over 2 decades, I’ve worked for and with Indigenous communities across western Canada - in various roles and capacities (paid and volunteer).

In less than a year, I built my business incomes beyond what I made as a senior leader in the public sector.
I’ve worked at the interface of Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities for most of my adult life. I specialize in Engagement & Dialogue, Education, and Instructional Design.
My current business includes Ghostwriting and Strategizing with Indigenous, Non-profits, Business Owners, and Education organizations.

We also have multiple Free 5-day Educational Email courses available at Humanity Academy.
I also write and post daily on LinkedIn and X (Twitter). I publish regularly on Medium. I share illustrations and photos on Instagram.
