A proud enrolled band member of the Fishing Lake First Nation in Saskatchewan. I am a published author, mother, wife, and executive police leader with over two decades of experience in Indigenous policing.

​

Born and raised in the Ottawa Valley and Pikwakanagan, I began my policing career in 2005. 

In 2015, I broke new ground as the first woman in our police department’s history to be promoted above the rank of constable.

​

Since 2017, I’ve served in several executive leadership roles, including Inspector of Field Operations and Acting Chief of Police. I’ve held my current position of Deputy Chief since 2018.

​

A lifelong learner, I’ve continually advanced my education and leadership development. I’m a proud graduate of the University of Toronto’s Rotman Police Leadership Program (2019) and recently completed my bachelor’s degree (Dean’s List, Faculty of Human and Social Sciences) at Wilfrid Laurier University in 2024. I’m currently pursuing postgraduate studies in Human Resource Management at Fanshawe College.

​

Beyond policing, I am actively involved with charitable organizations, advisory boards, and committees, and most recently, I’ve stepped into the role of author.

My debut book, Breaking Trail: From Complex Trauma to Command (Baico Publishing Inc.), is a memoir that explores healing, resilience, and leadership as an Indigenous woman navigating complex systems.
