About Annette

Annette (they/them) is a queer, trans and non-binary settler of Scottish, English and Polish ancestry raised on the lands of the kʷikʷəƛ̓əm First Nation. After studying and working in cities across Turtle Island, Annette is now grateful to build a home and community on the unceded homelands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples.

Before coming to UVic, Annette worked for over a decade in crisis support services and transitional housing with survivors of sexualized violence and families fleeing intimate partner violence. In their approach to anti-violence work, Annette combines their experiences in harm reduction and trauma-centered care with a deep commitment to transformative and healing justice. Outside of work, Annette enjoys reading, tending their garden, thrifting for art and antiques and playing with their two cats, Prescott and Percival.
