Living on the traditional territories of the Haudenasaunee, Anishinaabek, Mohawk and Métis First Nations.

I care deeply about forest and water protection, protecting the rights and sovereignty of Indigenous people, decolonization, land/water protection, and uplifting ancient wisdom (especially as it pertains to my Indian ancestry), messaging/framing and psychology, as well as empowering heart-centered, decolonized leadership.

I take big, meaningful ideas and help them materialize. I am the Founder and ED of Photographers Without Borders, Co-Founder of the Sumatran Wildlife Sanctuary, and I recently founded a yoga and ayurvedic healing space that I call "Ferngully," which is set in a 30-acre forest on the Magnetewan River in northern Ontario. I was also the founding Co-Chair of the Dandelion Initiative, an organization run for and by sexual assault survivors in Tkaronto.
