He is in the University Transfer program, focusing on Social Work. His long term goal is to complete the Indigenous Law program at the University of Victoria. Kit came to Camosun because he was inspired by his older sister whom he watched carefully as she graduated with her Law degree and he saw that education could be the tool to effect change in the world around him. Kit says, “I can affect real and positive change in the communities around me by first taking the steps to advance myself and continuing to work hard to achieve my goals.
