Chelsey grew up in Unama’ki (Cape Breton) and currently resides in Punamu’kwati’jk (Dartmouth)\, Mi’kma’ki (Nova Scotia). Chelsey joins the ITSD Hub with more than a decade of experience in the marine conservation\, and fisheries and oceans sectors where she developed expertise in fisheries management\, fisheries policy\, stakeholder engagement\, and project management\, all of which have been firmly grounded in Indigenous rights\, values\, perspectives\, and realities. \nChelsey previously worked with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans on both the National Indigenous Fisheries Policy and Indigenous Fisheries Programs\, where she pushed for meaningful change in how the Department approaches Indigenous fisheries\, by promoting collaboration and self-determination. As a Mi’kmaw woman of mixed descent\, Chelsey remains grounded in the concept of Etuaptmumk (Two-eyed seeing)\, which is “learning to see from one eye with the strengths of Indigenous knowledge and ways of knowing – and seeing from the other eye with the strengths of Western knowledge and ways of knowing” ~ Elder Albert Marshall. \nHer goal is to increase our understanding of the aquatic environment\, promote the sustainable use of all resources\, remove barriers for Indigenous women within the fisheries and oceans sector\, and harness her skills and experience to benefit all Indigenous communities\, and peoples\, across Turtle Island. \n\n\nFunded in Part By:
