Senior Counsel
My practice focuses on First Nations empowerment in major project development, regulatory processes and treaty relationships. I work alongside Indigenous governments to ensure that large-scale infrastructure, energy and resource projects respect their rights and jurisdiction. Drawing on deep experience in impact assessment, Crown consultation and the affirmation of rights, I help Nations exercise decision-making responsibilities through durable agreements, regulatory participation and the assurance of free, prior and informed consent.
I help First Nations build strong institutions to achieve long-term prosperity, guided by my belief that self-determination is the foundation of lasting economic partnerships. As a proud citizen of Canada, the Anishinabek Nation and the Oneida Nation (Wolf Clan), I am committed to achieving reconciliation through the effective implementation of rights, treaties and responsibilities.
