I'm the kind of person who will go to the mat for what I believe in. Champion of the underdog and downtrodden, defender of right. I live my personal and professional life with integrity, honesty, curiosity and hard work.

My Background:
I worked in government/quasi government for 18 years in areas of health administration, disability management and high level decision making. I have a concrete understanding of law and policy and it's practical application. I'm well educated holding three different post secondary degrees/diplomas/certificates in areas of Psychology/criminology/sociology, law enforcement and occupational health and safety. I'm a First Nations Canadian and strong believer in diversity and equal representation. I'm an excellent listener and a strong leader with boundless energy. I can get the job done.

I grew up on a diet of space and sci fiction. I’ve always held a fascination for exploration, adventure and experiencing diversity. When I learned of Asgardia’s existence, I thought it was an excellent project to be a part of. A way for forward thinkers to connect about issues that matter and work together to find answers to questions and lay foundation for the future.

Asgardia presents a unique opportunity to look at the current world we live in and see how it will change and how it can be better. I’ve worked under law and policy my whole career and I’ve aided in the formation and revision of policies. When it comes to law and policies language is important, as is inclusivity.

I’m passionate about education and continual learning. I believe knowledge is power. Knowledge should be shared freely with all people and not hoarded for a limited or elitist group. I’ve had experience in mediation between parties with different perspectives and had success with assisting people to find common ground.

I’m a critical thinker and not afraid to voice my opinion, even when it’s not a popular one. I remain respectful in my interactions with people and listen to what others have to say. I would never be so foolish as to take an opinion and dig in my heels if an opposing side had a compelling argument. Humility allows me consider my own thoughts, opinions and biases and realign based on new information. Critical thinking, research and flexibility are the cornerstones for solid decision making.

I’m a realist who craves idealism. I want to live in a world where people are equals, where education is widespread, where kindness to all lifeforms is the expectation. I know there will be many challenges along the way, but challenges make life that much more exciting.
