I am experienced in working with and for First Nations in a heritage management capacity but also in helping with respectful engagement on all sorts of non-heritage projects.

Below is a selection of some of the many the projects I have been very privileged to work on. Please reach out to me for a full CV and references.

Together, we were responsible for reviewing and commenting on HCA and Musqueam permit applications, representing Musqueam on various technical tables, ensuring responsible management of Musqueam’s heritage resources, and protecting Musqueam’s title and rights. I also oversaw the development of Musqueam’s capacity to take on consulting archaeology contracts for profit and to become a leading service provider, becoming the preferred archaeological firm for several high-profile clients.
