Ok, #introduction. Bit apprehensive about sharing personally identifying info at this point, but for now, I'm an independant #consultant and #policyanalyst working in #rural #Saskatchewan. My focus is the #nonprofit and #Indigenous #governance world, with most of my clients being boards, EDs, and elected officials. My #PhDTopic was #sustainabledevelopment #policy at the #municipalgovernment level. I'm also a #baker at a 100+ year-old #bakery, a life long dream of mine.

Happy to be here!😀
