Cadena is currently pursuing her BA in law and society at the University of Calgary, situated on Treaty Seven territory. Passionate about fostering a sense of community and belonging, she actively engages with various initiatives both on and off campus. As a dedicated member of the Indigenous Student Circle (ISC), Cadena serves as the co-director of communications. In this role, she works within the circle to help create inclusive spaces and organize events that cater to the unique needs of Indigenous students, aiming to make them feel at “home away from home.” In addition to her commitments with the ISC, Cadena remains connected to her community in other ways, from organizing a basketball tournament for youth in her First Nation during the winter-term break to her involvement with the 7 Nation Ikwe (women’s) group.
