A lifelong learner, Taylor is completing her Master’s in Indigenous Land-Based Education at the University of Saskatchewan. Her capstone project, Ask Auntie, is a land-based wellness program she founded for Indigenous girls and two-spirit youth in her community. By braiding together cultural teachings, language, and holistic wellness, Ask Auntie creates safe spaces for youth to strengthen their identities and leadership skills. Through this work, Taylor demonstrates how education rooted in land and community can empower the next generation.
Taylor’s story reflects the strength and vision of Indigenous women across the workforce. She leads by example – bridging ancestral knowledge with modern challenges, grounding innovation in cultural values, and ensuring that youth inherit not only opportunities, but also the teachings and resilience of their people.
