About me
Beginning my social activist life at an early age, I got involved in the Regional Multicultural Youth Council in Thunder Bay. Since then, I have represented the youth centre at conferences across Canada, served as youth council president for two years, designed a girl's collective, served as fundraising officer and marketing assistant, and started Health Engaging Youth. I am currently a Youth Support Worker at the drop-in centre.
I have my Recreation and Leisure and Social Service Worker diplomas from Confederation College. During my exchange to Japan, I learned invaluable problem solving skills and cultural sensitivity. I am interested in women's issues, food security, water preservation, violence against women prevention, environmental activism and children's rights.
I plan to be a Social Worker in the future, so I attend Lakehead University after receiving the SSW diploma. Bringing together my experience with youth-run organizations and the skills developed working at in informal and formal youth engagement, I hope to be involved in mental health, addictions, and youth engagement. I have been part of The New Mentality, Town Youth Participation Strategies, and Thunder Bay District Health Unit.
I am currently working for Wesway as a Respite Worker and Mobilizing Minds as the Young Adult Team Leader.
