Faye is an Accredited Learning Environment Planner through the Association for Learning Environments (A4LE). On First Nation Feasibility and Design Projects, Faye engages stakeholders to understand educational requirements. She reviews and researches the education programs to ensure that recommendations and infrastructure will meet the needs of students, families, community, and staff members.

Creating a plan that the community will own and sustain is her key objective on every project.
