Welcome, Brianna Hunt!

We would like to welcome our newest TREKK Board of Directors member, Brianna Hunt!

Brianna is a proud parent of an energetic toddler named Jasper, who keeps her on her toes. She joins the TREKK Board with a strong background in community-engaged and youth-centered research, and currently works at the Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba as their Patient Engagement Coordinator. In 2019, Brianna completed her master’s degree in psychology at Wilfrid Laurier University with a specialization in participatory and community-based research methods. Brianna recognizes her own privilege as a white person and an uninvited guest on the land upon which she lives and works in Treaty 1 Territory (Winnipeg). As such, she understands that it is her responsibility to facilitate community ownership of research and minimize harms that have historically impacted Indigenous, Black, and otherwise racialized and under-served communities across Canada.

Welcome to the team, Brianna!
