Hope’s career has reflected her commitment to reconciliation, Indigenous community development and collaboration. Her experience has spanned the country as manager of national campaigns dedicated to reconciliation and working on Canada’s largest major energy projects. She specializes in community engagement, communications, and influencing organizational inclusion of Indigenous world view. She is currently based in Kitimat as Stakeholder Relations Lead with LNG Canada, the largest private investment infrastructure project in Canada’s history. During her career in energy development she has meaningfully delivered: consultation, agreement implementation, built strategic partnerships and incorporated community priorities into project strategy. She has recently received a CEO Award, LNG Canada’s highest recognition for being the ‘Community Leader’.

Hope walks in two worlds, she deeply understands how to advance reconciliation into action and importantly, is able to facilitate how to respectfully journey together. She is committed to economic reconciliation and works toward building healthy, independent, sustainable Indigenous communities through connection to opportunities and sustainable economic development.

An active volunteer in her community, she is a co-founder of the Indigenous Leadership Circle; a hand selected group of Indigenous business leaders supporting the next generation of Indigenous talent in Canada. She also supports the development and implementation of Reconciliation Action Plans and volunteers with the Woodland Cree First Nation Elders Committee.
