Wachiay Friendship Centre
Family Law Advocate
Courtenay, British Columbia
I am the Family Law Advocate at the Wachiay Friendship Centre, located on the traditional, unceded territories of the K'omoks First Nation (colloquially known as Courtenay). I have been in this position since May 2021 and have been with the Centre since 2018, in various roles, such as homeless outreach and FASD Keyworker. My background is in social work and but I have found a passion with assisting clients navigate the family legal system. I look forward to connecting with everyone!
