About Burrowed In & My Journey as a Community Connector
If there’s one thing I’ve learned from my experiences—whether at Pow Wow Pitch, Shopify, RavenSong, or Tidemark—it’s that real magic happens when people come together. Connections are everything. They spark ideas, build businesses, and create a sense of belonging. And honestly? I LOVE making those connections happen.
Now that I’m deepening my roots in Campbell River, I’m embracing what feels like my true calling: being a Community Connector.
So, What the Heck is a Community Connector?
Great question! Basically, I’m on a mission to bring people together in meaningful ways—whether that’s through business, creative projects, or just getting the right people in the same room at the right time. It’s all about making sure no one is navigating things alone.

Where I’ve Been & How It Led Me Here
My journey as a connector didn’t start overnight. It’s been shaped by the incredible people and experiences I’ve been lucky enough to be part of:
🔥 Pow Wow Pitch – I got to work alongside inspiring Indigenous entrepreneurs, hearing their stories and helping them take their businesses to new heights. There’s nothing like watching someone own their power and passion in a pitch!
🔥 Shopify – Working with Build Native showed me just how important it is to create space for Indigenous business owners. I loved being able to guide entrepreneurs, answer their questions, and help them build something truly sustainable.
🔥 RavenSong Soap & Candle – This team is pure magic. A woman-powered, Indigenous-led business where creativity flows, and every product carries a story. It’s been incredible to be part of something so intentional, community-driven, and, honestly, just so much fun.

The passion, innovation, and can-do spirit here are truly inspiring, making every day an exciting adventure in the arts!
Why Campbell River? Why Now?
Because this place feels like home, there’s so much potential in this community, and I want to be part of bringing people together to create even more opportunities, collaborations, and moments of “Oh my gosh, THIS is exactly what I needed!”
I believe connections make waves. When one person gets the right support, it ripples outward—lifting up families, businesses, and entire communities. That’s what I want to be part
Procurement & Partnerships
I’m on the lookout for passionate, like-minded business owners and organizations who want to do what they love—only better! I’m especially excited to team up with Indigenous businesses, as well as those in retail, tourism, customer service, and small business sectors who are ready to:
✔ Build an unstoppable, happy team
✔ Streamline operations so things actually flow
✔ Wow their customers with unforgettable experiences
✔ Navigate big changes with confidence (and minimal stress)
✔ Connect with the right people to make BIG things happen
Ideally, my clients are people who are excited to collaborate, grow, and make their work feel good while running smoothly.
I’m all about real connections, meaningful collaborations, and making work feel less like work. Let’s connect over referrals, partnerships, and shared wins! 🎯
