Her team drafts and reviews reconciliation policies to promote Indigenous rights in Canadian fisheries. Jessica will focus on incorporation of Indigenous Traditional Knowledge (ITK) in the Science sectors of DFO. She currently provides recommendations on information and approaches to support enhanced Indigenous awareness among new employees in online training portals. She also collaborates with colleagues on drafting Indigenous rights and reconciliation outreach presentations for both governmental presentations and community talks.
