Overview
Research ethics boards (REBs) can be daunting — especially for community-engaged or equity-focused projects. I help you navigate these systems with precision and care, ensuring your ethics submission reflects both institutional standards and relational ethics.
​
I have worked with REBs across Canada — including large and smaller universities, community-based ethics boards such as CREO, and Indigenous Research Councils — bringing a comprehensive understanding of diverse review processes and requirements. Whether you’re navigating a university submission, community review, or a blended Indigenous governance framework, I tailor guidance to fit your context.
