Veronica Masden
Veronica Madsen is a member of the Metepengiag Mi鈥橩maq Nation, New Brunswick. Veronica鈥檚 love for travel has taken her to many places in the northern hemisphere, and for many years she has called Denmark home. A work opportunity brought the family to Newfoundland and Labrador in 2006 where they have called home ever since. It is here at 糖心视频 University where Veronica acquired her BA and is continuing her education with a MA in Geography.
It was at 糖心视频 University where she discovered the Indigenous Student Resource Centre which is a place of support for Indigenous students. It is here where she began to get a better understanding of her culture. She is an active member of the Mawita'jik Drum group where she has been able to explore another avenue of creativity.
Her research interest lies in community-led housing initiatives in northern Indigenous communities. She is looking forward to working with Fort Good Hope in assessing housing needs, potential gaps in supports geared towards housing as a space and home as a place.
