Nicole Robertson is a proud member of the Mathias Colomb Cree Nation in Treaty No. 6 and grounds her work in Indigenous worldviews and natural laws. Her professional journey has been guided by the values of truth, justice, courage, and benevolence, which continue to inform her collaborations with First Nations leadership, communities, governments, and private-sector partners on communication strategies and media platforms.

With a foundation in journalism, Nicole Robertson gained national recognition as a video journalist and producer for networks such as Aboriginal Peoples Television Network (APTN), Global Television, and CTV.
