I live on Treaty 6 territory - the territory of the Plains Cree, Woodland Cree, Saulteaux, Blackfoot, Métis, Dene, and Nakota Sioux - in what is colonially known as “Vermilion, Alberta, Canada”. I work virtually from my home office, often joined by my rescue Great Dane, Bruce.

I’m a third and fifth generation white settler to “Canada”, my ancestry includes Polish, Romanian, Austrian, and German. I was born on Cree and Saulteaux, Assiniboine and Métis territory (Treaty 4) and also lived for 30 years on the west coast, including the territory of the Halkomelem speaking Nations; lands which are important to the Katzie, Kwantlen, Kwikwetlem, Musqueam, Qayqayt, Squamish, Tsleil-Waututh Nations. This is part of my complicity and how settler colonization has directly benefited me; my personal journey of learning, unlearning and committed action is supporting and contributing to the redistribution of wealth, resources, land, power and more. A portion of my income goes to Indigenous-led organizations, particularly those supporting families, youth, and language programs.
