A speaker on the Justice Domain, I’m passionate about justice within the Indigenous community. I’m working on a pilot program called the Indigenous Diversion Program, where offenders receive a second chance through reconciliation and a healing process that utilizes a traditional Indigenous approach.

Indigenous Diversion Program

I am from Paul First Nation and have resided in Red Deer for 19 years. I am completing my university internship with the Indigenous Diversion Program. My education journey started with completing my Legal Assistant Diploma, followed by my Bachelor of Arts in Justice Studies. I am working towards completing my Master of Arts in Justice Studies through Royal Roads University. My interests are in the area of restorative justice, the use of Indigenous ways to repair the harm done and repairing relationships. I would also like to be able to use my education to assist in reducing the over-representation of Indigenous people in the criminal justice system.
