Brittany is a First Nation Woman from Kehewin Cree Nation, in Treaty 6 territory. Brittany is a single mother to one child, Hayden Mae. Brittany has been a Regional Service Coordinator since July 2021.

Brittany completed her education at University nuhelot’įne thaiyots’į nistameyimâkanak Blue Quills with her Indigenous Social Work Diploma in 2019 and Indigenous Bachelors of Social Work in 2021. She is a Registered Social Worker with Alberta College of Social Workers. Brittany aspires to attain her doctoral in social work one day.

Prior to her Social Work journey, Brittany worked in Health Care as a nursing aide while doing courses for her Practical Nursing in the evenings and when she was younger, worked for a self-esteem and self-confidence modeling firm for several years.

Brittany would like to wish to acknowledge the traditional homeland of the many diverse First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people whose Elders have walked this land before us and those persons with whom we share this great land today. Land acknowledgements are a necessary first step toward honoring the original occupants of a place. They also help everyone recognize and respect Indigenous peoples’ inherent kinship beliefs when it comes to the land, especially since those beliefs were restricted for so long. Land acknowledgments are a steppingstone to honoring broken treaty relationships. Brittany would like to also acknowledge the Indian Residential School survivors and their families.

Brittany’s cultural teachings, understanding of intergenerational trauma and strong advocacy skills makes her a great asset to the First Nation Health Consortium team.
