Law Student in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

I am currently pursuing my juris doctor at Osgoode Hall Law School. I am interested in the positioning of Indigenous and settler politics from a comparative and international perspective, with an emphasis on legal thought and policy related to Indigenous-Settler politics and treaty relations.

I am an alumni of McGill University with a Bachelor of Arts (Honours) in Political Science. I am also an alumni of Lester B. Pearson United World College of the Pacific, The Program of Legal Studies for Native People at the University of Saskatchewan, a graduate of the International Baccalaureate program, and a recipient of the TD Canada Trust Scholarship for Community Leadership.

I was on the editorial board of Kanata for 2011. I was a senior editor with the Osgoode Hall Law Journal and co-president of the Osgoode Indigenous Students Association for 2014/15.

When I'm not working, I spend time writing, tinkering with my 50's era Pentax camera, and playing classical guitar.
