My name is Marley Bob a nēhiyaw iskwēw (Plains Cree Woman) and a Treaty Member of Ochapowace Nation, located in Saskatchewan. I am an Indigenous Designer, Architectural Technician, Business Owner, and most importantly, a Mother. During my pursuit of finding ways to connect with my Indigenous community, I was excited to find that ENAGB’s Youth and Board Members were accepting applications for a board member. I sensed this was the perfect community opportunity for myself as a way to give back to the Indigenous youth.
Being a reliable and responsible professional, I believe I bring a unique and community-driven experience to the ENAGB’s Youth and Board Members.
I am committed to applying my creativity, education, and Indigenous ways of knowing to all aspects of my life. I conduct myself with confident leadership and interpersonal skills. My abilities include: working within diverse workforce conditions; collaborating alongside a multitude of unique personalities; performing exceptional under stressful situations; and providing cultural and technical knowledge to help contribute to a professional environment, such as ENAGB.
In the past, I have operated in diverse working conditions within the architectural and construction sector, business sector, Indigenous policy sector, and the retail sector. It has been a huge part of my personal development within my academic, cultural, and professional career. My commitment to ENAGB is to apply my lived experience, culture, connections, and understanding as a nēhiyaw iskwēw (Plains Cree Woman) to the youth. My goal as an ENAGB Youth and Board Member is to introduce fresh perspectives and successful outcomes as an On-Reserve and Urban member. I wish to create powerful, lasting, and memorable by-laws, policies, and programs to ENAGB’s Youth Organization.
