Description
I am from the Acho Dene Koe nation. I was adopted at birth away from my nation/city of origin and now reside in Kamloops, British Columbia (which is where I grew up). This summer, I was hired on with Tk’emlúps te Secwe̓pemc nation which has given the opportunity to get in touch with my Indigenous heritage both on a professional and personal level. Since being hired on I have been able to attend a workshop as well as a couple of different cultural experiences such as the Warriors Walk.
Currently, I am an aspiring social media marker. Majority of my spare time is spent growing my social media platforms and boosting engagement. I have a background in telecommunications which is complimented by working knowledge of administration and previous experience working in a team orientated, customer service driven sales environment. This combination has prepared me well for a career in this type of industry. Through these experiences I have developed a passion for learning more about how I can contribute to finding solutions to our ever growing problem of global climate change
This fall I will be studying in the field of Social Media and Digital Marketing Program through BCIT’s part-time distance online learning. My future goal is to become a Social Media Marketer and Digital Creator, primarily serving a variety of different businesses, organizations and online advocacy groups/forums hoping to incorporate clean, sustainable and renewable energy and emerging technologies as a recurring theme.
