I worked as a Researcher in the Native Management and Economic Development Program from , writing case studies and contributing to curriculum material. After graduating I moved to Ottawa and worked from as a Policy Analyst for the National Association of Friendship Centres where I participated in a number of national projects including Constitutional discussions around the Charlottetown Accord, the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples and the development of several national programs including Aboriginal Head Start and a national Aboriginal Family Violence Initiative.

It was during this time that I developed a professional interest in facilitation and participatory policy development. That changed my facilitation practice radically. I left that job in and started my own consulting business specializing in large group process facilitation, including Open Space Technology and began offering trainings in these facilitation methods as well.

My work in that time included a number of Indigenous organizations, non-profits and governments. In our family moved to Bowen Island BC where we currently reside.

During this time we were also raising our two children, running a community based home learning support program and training in the martial arts.

Starting in I began to incorporate a deeper view of complexity into my work and became active in contributing to the world of dialogic organizational development, anthro-complexity and the Art of Hosting. Our client work has evolved to become focused on large group facilitation, leadership development and long term culture change in organizations and sectors.
