Mandee completed her Masters of Social Work in the Indigenous Field of Study program at Wilfrid Laurier University in May 2025. Her focus is holistic helping with an emphasis on exploring one's mental, physical, spiritual and emotional wellness.  
 
Mandee has extensive experience within the Child Welfare system and other intersectional systems, including justice, education, social assistance, mental health, and medical.  Her experience working with multi-systems brings a lens of understanding to meet individual needs, but she can also provide support when needed in group conferencing to collaborate and advocate.  Mandee's training in both clinical work and a community-based model within the child welfare system has given her a wide range of skills.  She understands complex trauma, addictions, children and youth with complex needs, anxiety, depression and challenges for both parents and children through separation and divorce.
 
Mandee has worked within various Indigenous communities and understands holistic approaches to healing.  Mandee's approach is person-centred and focuses on where a person is at in their healing journey to determine how she can support the individual.  
 
Mandee has three children, 19, 17 and 15.  She has professional and lived experience with children and youth with exceptionalities as her oldest child is Autistic.  Mandee enjoys time with her family, two dogs, reading a good book and getting out for fresh air.
