"My passion is helping Indigenous communities achieve financial independence and literacy by levelling the playing field, so they can secure a brighter future."

As a Henvey Inlet First Nation member and Trustee for two of the community’s Trusts, I understand the unique challenges many communities face. With over 25 years of experience as a finance executive across non-profit, private, and public organizations, I bring a depth of knowledge in crafting tailored wealth management strategies.

Throughout my career, primarily in CFO roles for public companies, I’ve navigated the complexities of financial management and received both a fellowship designation and life membership from the Chartered Professional Accountants Association.

After years of success in the corporate world, I had reached a point where I knew I needed a change–something that would bring me both personal fulfillment and a chance to make a real difference in a community that I am deeply connected to. That decision led me to join T.E. Wealth Indigenous Services team in 2022, where I now partner with communities to build financial sovereignty and autonomy while preserving wealth for future generations.

I believe we are witnessing an unprecedented wealth transfer among Indigenous peoples, and my experience in managing large-scale wealth allows me to help communities navigate this moment effectively, with a focus on creating sustainable, long-term value.

I take pride in bringing an independent approach to every engagement, helping communities establish informed investment strategies and ensuring their money is managed responsibly and transparently.
