Bio

My name is OceanLushman I am a dedicated student, athlete, and community leader. Currently pursuing a biology and environmental science degree, I am passionate about understanding the natural world and advocating for sustainable practices. As a Mi’kmaq woman, I am deeply committed to decolonization and educating others about my culture and history. I balance academics with her role as a varsity rugby athlete at Acadia University and as a mentor in her community, including coaching at Cheema Aquatic Club and supporting children’s growth through the Wolfville Afterschool Program. The work I do often reflects my commitment to building inclusive, positive environments both on and off the field.
