Management at Thompson<br />
Rivers University<br />
I grew up in the Williams Lake<br />
area, in a rodeo family. I lived on<br />
a ranch where we rode horses,<br />
competed, and managed a herd<br />
of around 150 cattle. At the age<br />
of 17 I took up motocross and<br />
raced provincially for 6 years until<br />
I suffered an ACL injury. Between<br />
ages 22 and 27 I became very<br />
interested in fitness, became a<br />
regular at the gym and competed<br />
in bikini fitness shows.<br />
I have an amazing husband<br />
and we had our beautiful son in<br />
2018. He is almost 4 now. We<br />
are living in the Quesnel area. I<br />
own horses again and hope to be<br />
out competing again in the near<br />
future.<br />
I am currently studying full-time<br />
at Thompson Rivers University<br />
through the online department,<br />
completing a Diploma in Business<br />
with a focus in Human Resources.<br />
I will then transfer into a Bachelor<br />
of Business Administration with a<br />
major in Human Resources.<br />
I chose business as the field felt<br />
natural to me and all my first parttime<br />
employment opportunities<br />
were within an office<br />
environment. I chose to major<br />
in human resources because I<br />
am passionate about policy and<br />
regulations, whilst providing the<br />
best working environment for<br />
employees. I want to ensure a<br />
healthy and happy atmosphere<br />
that’s balanced and fair.<br />
In five years, I would like to<br />
have graduated from a Master’s<br />
program and be starting my<br />
career.<br />
My dream career is to work<br />
within an Indigenous organization<br />
and help build innovation and<br />
autonomy as we work towards<br />
Treaty. Once Treaty is successful,<br />
Human Resources are essential<br />
in maintaining an unbiased<br />
working environment as we work<br />
towards and develop our ownsource<br />
revenue and maintain and<br />
develop external partnerships.<br />
I would like to thank the Williams<br />
Lake First Nations Chief and<br />
Councill for the opportunity to<br />
follow my education path and for<br />
supporting their people in career<br />
advancement. The Williams Lake<br />
First Nation Education Department<br />
for their work, support, and duties<br />
year after year in the application<br />
process. They are wonderful at<br />
assisting students with concerns<br />
and confusion throughout the<br />
application progress and beyond.<br />
I feel grateful to be able to develop<br />
my skills and knowledge with help<br />
from Williams Lake First Nation.<br />
