As a Cree/Inue, I have a sacred duty to protect the lands, wildlife and water for the next seven generation to come. Being a Biologist – Project Manager, enables me to make sure I fulfil this duty as much as possible.

The project manager aspect helps me foster new relationships with all kinds of interesting people. Having an outside component and office component to the job also makes me very happy.

My first job was working as a baker/cake decorator for a local cakery in Sault Ste. Maire. I would prepare special ordered cakes, and assist in decorating wedding cakes. I also made bread, cookies, doughnuts, macaroons, mini cakes, and other varieties of desserts.

We often provided catering service for weddings, baby showers and birthdays. Being a baker was my dream goal, but soon realized the only way I could make a living would be if I moved to a bigger city where the client base is bigger. Realizing that and being an outdoors woman, I changed my profession goals to something else I loved doing; wildlife and forestry.

Taxidermy – People who know me, understand my fascination in preserving wildlife and my curiosity on how animal anatomy differs from one species to another.
