Director of Nation Building @Nationsfirst

Vancouver, BC, CA

As Director of Nation Building at NationsFirst, I work alongside Indigenous governments and communities to design and deliver strategies that strengthen sovereignty, economic self-determination, and governance capacity. My focus is on turning community visions into action—whether that’s unlocking infrastructure and clean energy projects, building workforce and training pathways, or negotiating partnerships that uphold cultural law and long-term Nation prosperity. Every initiative I lead is rooted in Indigenous priorities, driven by collaboration, and built to create lasting impact for generations to come.
