She is an intern at CBC North in Yellowknife and is currently finishing her bachelor of communications with a major in journalism at MacEwan University in Edmonton, Alta. Jamie’s passionate about telling stories that matter to Indigenous Peoples and her goal is to become a news anchor.
Her recent political/feminist research on Stephen Harper’s 2015 was published in the Athens Journal of Mass Media and Communications; a noteworthy achievement for this budding journalist.
