He has also contributed to national and international public policy by participating in programs such as the Action Canada Public Policy Fellowship (2023–2024) and the U.S. Department of State’s International Visitor Leadership Program (2024), where he explored issues affecting Arctic and Indigenous communities and cross-border cooperation.
