Hi everyone, my name is Shannon Beckstead. I am Bear clan, and a proud member of the Minegoziibe Anishinabe (Pine Creek First Nation, Treaty 2 territory/Treaty 4 signatory), with familial ties to the Red River Métis via Duck Bay.

I am the Indigenous Advisor at Four Directions Indigenous Student Centre at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s 카지노게임사이트 for the 2024-2025 academic year. My educational background is varied but deeply rooted in helping others in a well-rounded way: Behavioural Psychology and Recreation Therapy. I look forward to helping you, as well!

I support Indigenous students with academics, financial aid, housing, free tutoring services, career counselling, advising, personal skill development (e.g. study skills, goal setting, time management, etc.) and more. I can also be your connection to all the resources and supports available across campus. My goal is to facilitate the well-being and success of Indigenous students at Queen카지노 게임 컬렉션�s by supporting them in living a healthy, balanced life: academically, emotionally, spiritually, and physically. As the Indigenous Advisor, I coordinate:
