Crystal Martin pursued the Social Worker program at Algonquin College, but this wasn't always the career path that she initially dreamed she would pursue. Born and raised in Sanirajak in Nunavut, Crystal spent her teenage years between the North and the Ottawa Valley. While she was visiting her community, she became aware of the hardships faced by Inuit communities. From low income families, homes that were falling apart, poverty, and most tragically, suicide. Crystal began her quest and after graduating from Algonquin College's Social Service program in 2013, she began her mission advocating for Indigenous youth, bringing her social service background to talk about the importance of Inuit youth to reconnect with their culture, traditions, and language, develop and implement Inuit-specific programs and services, and identify issues and implement strategies to meet local needs.In addition to her consulting business, Okpik Consulting, Crystal is also the CAO and co-founder Indigenous Geographic, a newly established (100% Indigenous-owned) film and production company that amplifies Indigenous voices and shares Indigenous stories from across Canada and around the globe.
