Pronouns: they/them/theirs

— Raine is a settler of primarily French-Canadian ancestry occupying the traditional and unceded lands of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), and səl̓ílwətaʔɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

They come from a background working and volunteering for various intersectional and community-centered movements, including trans liberation, disability justice, climate justice, and Indigenous rights and sovereignty. Before joining Pivot Legal Society as an Articling Student, they worked as an outreach worker in the Downtown Eastside, raised service dogs, and organized climate protests. They also served as a Temporary Articled Student at the Indigenous Community Legal Clinic and worked as a Summer Law Student at West Coast Environmental Law, supporting pro-bono work and marginalized clients navigating the colonial legal system.

Their lived experience as a transmasculine, disabled, and mad person informs their approach to justice. They are deeply committed to dismantling oppressive systems in their work and personal life and approaching the work with compassion, humility, and accountability.

In their free time, Raine can be found training for a half-marathon, working as a freelance photographer, and crafting.
