Connecting

With substantial personal expertise and achievement, across the social and health related aspects impacting Indigenous Peoples, my approach is grounded in an Indigenous worldview and lived experience, which is intrinsically wholistic.

My career has been driven by the insight that ‘food is our medicine’. I have been involved in the food movement at a community, national and international level with a commitment to centering food and strengthening Indigenous Peoples health and the reclamation of Indigenous Food Systems. As a consultant, I have advised several organizations on nutrition & health strategies. Honouring reciprocity in practice, in community as a Board Director with the Anishnawbe Health Foundation and a community elected trustee for Edkaagmik Nbiizh Neyaashiinigamiingninwag Edbendaagzijig Trust sitting two terms.

Academically, I hold a Master of Public Health from Lakehead University and Bachelor of Science with a focus on Nutrition from Toronto Metropolitan University. I possess dual designation as a Registered Dietitian and Family Physician with a Doctor of Medicine obtained at McMaster.

I am a proud Anishinaabe, mother of two and member of the Chippewas of Nawash in Ontario. If you have found your way to my website landing page, I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your needs and opportunities to work together.
