As Program Director of IndigenEYEZ and kinSHIFT, Kelly is known for her energizing, out-of-the-box workshops. Growing up and being of mixed heritage, Kelly has been bridging distinct worlds all her life, weaving together the strengths of her syilx and European ancestry. She brings 30 years of community development at the community, provincial and national levels.
Through her on-the-ground experience, Kelly came to see that a common barrier to the success of programs is relationship breakdown and that the key to turning this around is revitalizing Indigenous ways as the foundation for tackling current challenges. She co-founded IndigenEYEZ as a means of supporting natural champions in communities to better respond to the impacts of colonization. Kelly is focused on the role of relationships in systems change and is sought out for her capacity to help deepen relations at a time in history when connections across differences are essential.
Kelly has a BSW, Executive Coaching Certification, and extensive training in Creative Facilitation through Partners for Youth Empowerment. She lives in her family’s ancestral home on the Blind Creek Reserve in syilx territory in the South Okanagan-Similkameen.
