​

"As a woman, manager in healthcare delivery, and proud member of the Métis Nation, I acknowledge the complex interplay of my identity, experiences, and privilege. My upbringing amidst economic struggles and my journey as a single mother have instilled in me a deep understanding of resilience and the importance of accessible healthcare.

My middle-class status, achieved through education and hard work, has afforded me privileges that many do not have. However, my experiences of marginalization and adversity have also sensitized me to the struggles faced by marginalized communities, particularly Indigenous peoples.

As a healthcare manager, I am committed to addressing health inequities and promoting equitable access to quality care for all communities. My Métis heritage and lived experiences inform my passion for culturally safe care, trauma-informed practice, and addressing the social determinants of health.

I recognize that my position of authority may also carry unintended biases and privilege. "
