DeRose's distinguished career includes her tenure as B.C.'s first superintendent of Aboriginal Achievement and her role as an educator and principal within KamloopsThompson School District 73. Her advocacy for the inclusion of Indigenous languages, history, and culture in the curriculum has been instrumental in fostering a more inclusive and comprehensive educational environment.
Her commitment to education extends beyond her professional roles. She has been an influential member of various boards and committees, including the UBC President’s Advisory Board for Indigenous People and the Verna J. Kirkness Foundation.

Born in Williams Lake to a Secwépemc family, DeRose is a member of the Esk’etemc First Nation. Her Secwépemc name is Tse7ekw te Spi7uw (Sunrise Golden Eagle), which means Divine Spirit giving warmth, light and life.
