About

As a Grant Assistant, I support copyediting applications, drafting annotated bibliographies, and preparing CVs/CCV forms, among other grant-related tasks. (Note: I do not provide grant strategy, professional editing, or French-language support but can connect applicants with those who do.)

As a doctoral candidate and lecturer in the English and Film Studies Department, I trace the concept of “ally” and consider what it means to be here in amiskwaciwâskahikan (Edmonton Alberta) and Treaty 6 territory in responsible relationship. Reading, writing alongside, and responding to calls to action from Indigenous literatures, students in my courses and I do imagination work with anticolonial narratives.
