OJIBWAY FROM MISSISSAUGA FIRST NATION
Queen’s University
MASTER OF SCIENCE IN OCCUPATIONAL THERAPY

I grew up in Ontario, Canada, on Mississauga First Nation, a small reserve next to a little town called Blind River. Growing up, I always knew I wanted to go into the health care field, but I wasn’t sure what would be the best fit for me. I did know I wanted to help people, and to hopefully return to my community later on.
