I’m a conscientious and creative heritage professional with 25 years’ experience in Indigenous heritage management, research and conservation. I’ve been a BC Heritage Conservation Act permit holder since 2006.
My practice is wholly committed to decolonization, and supports Indigenous governance, informed engagement, and community participation in cultural and environmental assessments.
As an accomplished independent consultant, I am part of a large network of experienced and collaborative heritage professionals. This community allows me to access specialist expertise, to scale up resources for larger projects, or to simply refer the best consultant for the best work.
