Beatrice Bright
Representing: Prince Rupert Campus
Phyllis Wells
Representing: Terrace Campus
Hello! I am Phyllis Wells, and I am excited to be a nominee on the First Nations Council. I was born and raised in the city of Terrace, and I have been studying at the Terrace campus since 2019 starting out in the Career and College Prep program. I am now a second-year student enrolled in the Business Administration Diploma – Accounting program. If elected, I plan to use experience and strategies on overcoming adversity and hardships of an Indigenous woman who found her purpose through education. I want to make sure that our concerns and ideas shape the policies that affect our lives on campus. Thank you for considering me for this position. It is my hope to serve First Nations students and to make a positive impact for the surrounding First Nations communities.
