Aurora is the Founding Director of Bow Valley DEI.  A Bow Valley resident for 17 years, she brings this local insight and understanding to all of her work. She speaks and consults regularly with a variety of organizations and businesses about how to create spaces in which everybody truly belongs. She loves to help people create brave, accountable moments that encourage all to be more than they thought they could be.

Aurora is a fierce advocate for the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and has been privileged to speak before thousands at the Women's March on Calgary, as well as at Power of Being a Girl, Trans Day of Remembrance, International Women's Day, and many other important markers in the lives of girls, women, and 2SLGBTQIA+communities. 

She is a successful career musician and is acclaimed throughout Calgary, the Bow Valley, and Alberta for her abilities as a collaborative pianist and educator. It's in integrating these two poles - music and activism - that Aurora finds her passion and ability to get to the heart of complex, nuanced situations. 

Aurora recently moved to Victoria, BC, where she reads, hikes, eats charcuterie, and imagines new ways to live the dreams of her childhood.
