My niche is in cultural competency, language revitalization, and organizational development within Indigenous child welfare and community support. I specialize in facilitating Cultivating Safe Spaces, helping staff and caregivers create inclusive, culturally responsive environments for Indigenous children. I also develop and teach Anishinaabemowin language courses, integrating language into daily practice to strengthen cultural identity and communication within child welfare services.

In addition, I support organizational excellence through departmental investigations, strategic planning, and improving service standards. My facilitation work is rooted in trauma-informed approaches, ensuring that Indigenous perspectives on healing, identity, and community well-being are central to the work being done. I bring a unique skill set that blends language, culture, and organizational effectiveness to enhance services for Indigenous children, families, and communities.
