She was a drug and alcohol counselor for 21 years, until she changed her career to be employed with Mississaugi First Nation as the Traditional Student Mentor for the Secondary School in Blind River. She had to leave her job in February 2018 due to cancer. She is now hoping to regain her walking, speech, fine and gross motor skills to enjoy her many hobbies and outdoor activities. Currently, she is working with physiotherapists in rehabilitation, and her days are spent in exercises monitored by professionals.
She is also campaigning for the Blind River Refinery and Incinerator to be shut down permanently.
