Dabney Warren

I’m an Indigenous educator, curriculum nerd, Cree language advocate, and fast digital creator who loves turning chaos into clarity. Give me a messy draft, a half-formed idea, or a “can you do this by tomorrow?” project, and I’ll hand it back to you clean, organized, and ready for the world. That’s just how I was raised — if you’re going to do the work, do it well, do it with pride, and do it in a way that helps someone else down the road.

My career has been rooted in education, culture, and community. I’ve spent years teaching, leading, and building systems that actually work for the people they’re meant to serve. I bring experience not just from the classroom, but from the big-picture side of things: running a school system with three schools, overseeing budgets, organizing operations, planning programs, managing HR, and keeping everything moving forward without losing sight of the kids, the community, or the culture. It’s been a lesson in stamina, patience, and the power of a well-timed laugh during a stressful week.

Along the way, I found my love for creating — Cree language resources, curriculum materials, digital classroom tools, professional documents, proposals, reports, handbooks, and everything in between. I work fast, but I don’t cut corners. When you hire me, you get someone who cares about the details, respects your time, and brings a steady, grounded approach to every project.

I believe in the strength of our languages, the wisdom of our old people, and the future we’re building for our kids. My work reflects that. Whether I’m designing a resource for teachers, writing a report for leadership, or turning raw transcripts into something that finally makes sense, I bring culture, clarity, and purpose into the process. Good work should feel like a drumbeat — steady, strong, and meaningful.

If you’re looking for someone who can write, design, plan, translate ideas into action, and rise to a challenge with a bit of humour and a lot of heart, that’s me. I show up with respect, I get the job done, and I try to leave things a little better than I found them.
