After completing her master’s degree, she was grateful for the opportunity to work at the NWT Archives for nearly a decade, where she cultivated a deep appreciation for preserving and sharing the stories that define the territory and its government. Transitioning to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources in 2018, Ms. Reid focused on conservation and sustainable development issues in legislative and policy work prior to being elected.

Ms. Reid volunteered as President of YWCA NWT from 2021 to 2023 and served as UNW Local 40 President in 2019 and from 2021 to 2023. Her leadership extends to the cultural realm as a past director for Folk on the Rocks, Yellowknife’s long-running and beloved music festival. Ms. Reid has also contributed to community events such as NWT Pride and Yellowknife Pride, and the past springtime art spectacle, Burn on the Bay.

In her personal life, Ms. Reid is married and finds inspiration in an array of hobbies. She loves music, art, burlesque, drag, film, weightlifting, and travel.

Debates of , 20th Assembly, 1st Session (day 38)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I also want to thank my colleagues for speaking to this generally, the topic of tariffs and Team Canada today. Mr. Speaker, will the Premier seize this opportunity to encourage a green new deal for the NWT and critical minerals working in tandem with Team Canada and Indigenous leadership? And I'm specifically asking this of the Premier because he is at those tables, not the Minister of ITI. Thank you.
