Description
Aurora was born in Thunder Bay and raised in small towns throughout Northern Ontario. After receiving her degree from Western University in London Ontario, Aurora completed her Juris Doctor at Bora Laskin Faculty of Law in Thunder Bay. Her placement was at the Northwest Community Legal Clinic, where she also worked during the summers, thanks to the Law Foundation of Ontario’s Access to Justice program. Aurora has spent time teaching in Igloolik, NU., where she drafted successful proposals for government funding for the after-school programs she developed and implemented. This experience had a great impact on her choice to pursue political science and a social justice and peace specialization in her undergraduate studies. During law school, Aurora took specialization courses in Elder Law, Criminal Law, Environmental and Animal Law, and Legal Research and Writing. Aurora has a passion for wildlife protection and animal rights; she was Co-Founder and President of the Bora Laskin Faculty of Law Animal Justice Club and will have a co-authored essay on animal law issues published in the Spring of 2024.

When not at the office, you will find Aurora enjoying the ‘lake-life’ and all that Kenora has to offer.
