My name is Shellby Fulton, I am a member of the Selkirk First Nation. My grandmother was the late Lucy Vanbibber. I am also a Registered Nurse who has practiced in the north for over 11 years. As a culmination of my lived experience and professional and academic endeavours, I recently founded a business, Interconnect Health and Wellness. Interconnect aims to support Yukon residents in their healthcare journeys, especially our Indigenous peoples.
