Indigenous Storyteller

I am more than just a photographer; I'm a wife, a mother, and a storyteller deeply rooted in my heritage. Born from the rich tapestry of Indigenous ancestry, my journey has been shaped by my dual heritage as an Inuk and Mexican descendant. My story took an unexpected turn when I met my husband while serving in the Army, a serendipitous encounter that became the cornerstone of my family life. As a devoted mother to two children, my life is a testament to love, resilience, and the enduring power of family bonds.


Beyond my roles within my family, I am also an Indigenous storyteller, weaving narratives that transcend time and culture. With reverence for my heritage and a deep connection to Turtle Island, I share the wisdom of my ancestors, breathing life into age-old tales that continue to resonate in the hearts of listeners. Through my storytelling, I invite others to embark on a journey of discovery, exploring the sacred lands and traditions of Turtle Island with a renewed sense of wonder and appreciation.
