Selected Work

Selected projects, workshops, and collaborations across Indigenous partnership, stewardship, and institutional change.

My role often includes systems framing, facilitation, research synthesis, and collaborative design.

Projects

Reconciliation Portfolio Support for Yukon University and UArctic

Supported YukonU’s AVP-Reconciliation and UArctic’s VP Indigenous portfolios with research, coordination, and systems framing for reconciliation planning and wider institutional engagement.

    • Developed systems framing that clarified the relationship between reconciliation work and broader institutional transformation, emphasizing shared responsibility across the institution rather than it sitting within a single office.

    • Conducted background research and created slide decks and visuals to support YukonU’s reconciliation framework development and internal engagement.

    • Supported cross-partner coordination with Indigenous and institutional partners across YukonU and UArctic.

Transboundary Water Collaboration Strategy

Strategic research and recommendations for Shared Waters Alliance and Semiahmoo First Nation to strengthen transboundary collaboration on water quality and shellfish harvest restoration.

    • Conducted applied research, including eight comparative case studies and interviews with partners and practitioners

    • Assessed governance and regulatory pathways linked to restoring and reopening shellfish harvesting

    • Developed non-prescriptive recommendations to support shared responsibility and improved cross-border coordination

    • Briefed the SWA core team and supported sensemaking for next-phase planning

    • Output: Best Practices Research Report (UBC Sustainability Scholars) + briefing deck.

Indigenous Knowledge and Values Framework for FIMP

Supported the development of an Indigenous Knowledge and Values framework for FIMP, contributing process design, visual tools, and methodological guidance for lake assessment and management.

    • Worked with partners to clarify aims, responsibilities, and guidance so Indigenous Knowledge and values could shape Foreshore Integrated Management Planning (FIMP) methods and decision-making

    • Supported processes and visual tools to help teams work across Western scientific and technical perspectives and local Indigenous priorities and stewardship concerns

    • Contributed framing and recommendations to support Living Lakes Canada’s reconciliation and Indigenous partnership practice

    • Output: Local Indigenous Knowledge and Values Framework (Foreshore Integrated Management Planning)

Collaborative Stewardship and Feasibility Planning in Hawaiʻi

Supported a conservation feasibility process for a government agency through engagement design and background research, in partnership with a Native Hawaiian consultant.

    • Co-developed a three-session workshop series for advisory and leadership teams on relationship-centered engagement and culturally grounded partnership

    • Built facilitation materials (slides, prompts, breakout activities) to support internal alignment on engagement approach, roles, and relevant protocols

    • Conducted background research and synthesis to help clarify themes and decision sideboards for next steps
