I am a mixed-blood Cree woman from British Columbia, Canada.

I am about to embark on a journey I have dreamed of my entire life: I am returning to university to continue my education in community development and community based research. I am at the very early stages of the process and am currently completing the application requirements for entrance into graduate studies at the University of Victoria, here where I live. I believe it is serendipidous that I found this community at this time and I am truly grateful to have a platform through which I can share this journey!

I know that I will learn a tremendous amount from you all, I hope I can share something valuable to you as well and with any luck, I'll make a few friends along the way!

With much appreciation and respect,

Jodi
