She is a Michif scholar whose work focuses on Indigenous Business, organizational inclusion, and removing barriers to success within systems. She is a highly skilled social science researcher with over 15 years of experience in research design, survey development, statistics, program evaluation, and applied organizational research.

Her family names include Pruden, Morin, Merasty, and Bear. She currently lives and works in Mi’kma’ki, where her research, teaching, and consulting are guided by relational accountability, respect for Indigenous ways of knowing, and a commitment to ethical engagement with communities, organizations, and institutions.

Katelynn’s work examines how organizations, institutions, and communities can better understand the barriers that prevent people from thriving. Her research and consulting focus on workplace inclusion, Indigenous and equity-informed organizational change, ethical data practices, trauma-informed systems, HR and organizational climate assessment, and the evaluation of programs designed to support marginalized and equity-deserving populations.

Through Alpha Ethics Research & Consulting, Katelynn supports organizations, researchers, and community partners in designing ethical, rigorous, and practical research processes. Her approach combines methodological expertise with relational accountability, helping clients move from uncertainty to evidence-informed action.

Katelynn has consulted on, coordinated, and supported projects with universities, community organizations, government partners, and industry groups, including Saint Mary’s University, Halifax Independent School, BRAVE, the Hepatitis Outreach Society of Nova Scotia, the Centre for Women in Business, provincial government partners, Public Safety Canada, and the David Sobey Centre for Retailing Innovation.

She founded Alpha Ethics to help organizations and researchers better understand their environments, manage data ethically and confidentially, and identify the systems, practices, and relationships that shape whether people are able to succeed.
