My name is Rochelle DeLaRonde, I am a member of the Tahltan Nation. Recently started my 4th of study at Thompson Rivers University. I am working towards completing the Bachelors of Business Administration Program, with a major in Human Resource Management.

Reconciliation to me means forgiving the past to heal the future. As an identifiable First Nations woman I have had many experiences with discrimination in society. There is so much distrust amongst many First Nations, but the healing has begun. I believe healing comes through education and knowing one’s values. To achieve Reconciliation action must be taken by society to rebuild the trust in the relationship. I hope this program will supplement my knowledge building for my future endeavours.
