She spent a number of years working in emergency management and operations across Canada, supporting municipalities and First Nation communities during emergency response. Most recently, she worked alongside First Nation communities as a Regional Climate Resilience Coordinator, collaborating and learning about climate change impacts, projects, and initiatives. Mandie seeks to learn more about Indigenous sovereignty, well-being, and the lived experiences of First Nations members living in at-risk areas in British Columbia.
