I live in the Treaty 6 area of Alberta. My formative years were spent on the Samson reserve and the majority of my professional career as an Environmental Public Health Officer (EPHO) in Maskwacis.  My role as an EPHO for Maskwacis Health Services is to provide advice, guidance, education, public health inspections, and recommendations to the four First Nations of Maskwacis (Ermineskin, Louis Bull, Montana and Samson) and their leadership to help manage public health risks associated with the environment.
