Shantal was born and raised in Prince George on the ancestral unceded territory of the Lheidli T’enneh First Nation. She has a biomedical degree from UNBC and is a casual at the Kordyban Lodge supporting cancer patients. Shantal worked as a pharmacy technician before joining the team, where she felt she would have the opportunity to really help the most vulnerable in her community.
As a Support Services Coordinator, Shantal advocates for clients while connecting them with the services they require, and has worked tirelessly to expand the Pounds Project medication program. Her core belief is that everyone should have their basic needs met in order to be able to thrive, which is why she is working towards becoming a doctor.
Shantal teaches aerial fitness in the evenings, and enjoys reading and snowboarding whenever possible. She and her partner attend metal festivals all over the world, but always return home to their cats and their own band.
