My research centres on plant biodiversity, Indigenous environmental management and food systems (or more accurately, Indigenous relationships with the land), and the monitoring of ecosystem health and function.
I am Métis and Cree from the communities of Lac La Biche and Fort McMurray in what is now northeastern Alberta. I am also proudly gay, queer, and two-spirit. My approach to research and teaching blends science, art, Indigenous perspectives (specifically Métis and Cree if my own), and the decolonial return of land and lifeways. I also conduct research on plant systematics and the evolution and taxonomy of morphologically diverse tropical plant families (Euphorbiaceae, Leguminosae).
