My Values
Values act as a personal compass, helping us determine what is important, meaningful, and just. They reflect what we stand for and prioritize, and shape our behaviours, relationships, and goals.
That said, I think it’s important to be upfront about the values I bring to this work. They influence how I show up for you, how I create our shared space, and how we collaborate toward your goals. My work is rooted in a commitment to equity, justice, and creating a space where you feel seen, heard, and valued. Here’s what that means to me.

Land Acknowledgement


I am a white, settler-colonialist, cisgender woman, and I recognize the power and privilege that systemic oppression has unfairly afforded me, while depriving others of basic human rights. I am committed to disrupting these harmful systems, reflecting on how I may uphold them, and doing the ongoing work of unlearning my own internalized racist beliefs. This is a lifelong process of humility, accountability, and growth.
Acknowledging the land we live and work on is one important way to honour the enduring relationship between Indigenous Peoples and their territories. A land acknowledgment is not just words—it is a moment to express gratitude and respect while recognizing the ongoing impacts of colonization. It’s a commitment to reflect on our responsibilities and take action toward reconciliation and equity.
I live and work on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territories of the Anishnaabeg, Haudenosaunee, Lenni Lenape, and allied Nations. I affirm and honour the Three Fires Confederacy—which includes the Ojibwe, Odawa, and Potawatomi peoples—as well as the Huron/Wendat Peoples. I acknowledge and respect the deep stewardship of these lands by Indigenous communities since time immemorial, as well as those caring for it today and the generations yet to come.
