About

My role as a Grant Assistant includes copyediting applications, writing annotated bibliographies, CVs/CCV forms, and some budget construction, among other grant writing related tasks. (note: my role does not cover grant development/strategy, professional editing services, or French language writing though I am able to connect applicants with someone who can help with these areas). 

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 around collective liberation.
