A creative, detail-oriented, highly motivated community activist with over 15 years of experience in the violence against women/children sector working from an intersectional, gender-based, anti-racist,anti-oppressive framework. Much of my career has involved grassroots advocacy for children and their families as a frontline social worker as well as participation in numerous children’s rights activist groups and coalitions resulting in policy changes to income, immigration, healthcare, education, and housing on all levels of government in Canada. My work prioritizes, recognizes, and responds to the specific needs of Indigenous, Black, People of Color, 2SLGBTQI+, and other systemically marginalized communities. My career goal upon completion of my studies is to join the global community of humanitarian workers as an international expert in social welfare systems that effectively respond to the needs of migrant and refugee children forcefully displaced by sudden and slow-onset climate disasters.
