Statement of intent

As a First Nation CPA and ICD.D, I bring extensive experience from various directorship roles that align with the values and mission of Connect First and Servus Credit Union (CFSCU). Currently, I serve as a director and Audit Committee chair on the Metis Settlements Development Corporation (MSDC) board, and Siksika Nation Group of Companies (SGC) board, where I contribute to fostering economic prosperity for future generations through sustainable investment strategies. As a licensed commercial pilot, I also sit on the Alberta Strategic Aviation Advisory Council, advising on policies that enhance Alberta’s aviation industry, ensuring its alignment with economic development goals.

As a trustee for the Wicekaskosiw Sahkahikan Askiwi-Pimiy Heritage Trust Fund I contribute to financial investment decisions that improve the quality of life for present and future generations of Onion Lake Cree Nation. Finally, I serve on the advisory committee for E3 Lithium where I contribute knowledge in sustainable resource development and support their growth and environmental stewardship initiatives.

As the principal of Urban Cree Consulting, I focus on promoting Indigenous economic development through consulting, advisory, and accounting services. These experiences position me to contribute meaningfully to the governance of CFSCU, particularly in areas of financial oversight, sustainability, and community.
