Meet Andrea

My name is Andrea Oakunsheyld (she/her) and I am a white, curvy, neurodivergent, disabled, queer bigender woman working on the traditional, ancestral, and stolen lands of the xwməθkwəyə̓ m (Musqueam), səlilwətaɁɬ (Tsleil-Waututh), Swwú7mesh (Squamish), and Stó:lō Nations. I come from the MacKay clan of Scotland, the O’Farrell clan of Ireland, and the Eder and Swoboda families of Austria.

She is wearing read lipstick and a black scoop neck top that shows a green and purple tattoo of a Scottish thistle. Andrea is looking gently to the left and has a calm expression.

"Working with Oakunsheyld Consulting was a transformative and impactful experience. Andrea’s planning expertise and anti-oppressive approach were invaluable assets to our time together. Her work on our 2021 Homelessness Situation Analysis Report and 2022-2032 Strategic Plan empowered the Task Force to continue our work in a more human-centred way. Her time with us revolutionized our path going forward– she thoroughly understood our work and where we needed to grow. I have deep gratitude for Andrea’s collaborative and organizational skills, strategic approach, and her guiding values."​
