I began my journey in social services with the Seizure and Brain Injury Centre (SABIC) as a Social Service Worker student from Northern College. Since then, I have completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from Queen’s University and bring over 12 years of experience as a professional and clinician.
My previous work as a Behaviour Therapist was grounded in ensuring that clients and families felt supported, empowered, and encouraged toward greater independence through activities of enrichment. My approach has always centered on building meaningful, person-first services that foster dignity, autonomy, and resilience.
Today, I am proud to serve as the Executive Director of the Seizure and Brain Injury Centre, where I oversee program development, community engagement, funding initiatives, and organizational leadership. I work closely with staff, clients, and stakeholders to strengthen services, build partnerships, and expand our advocacy efforts.
I am currently furthering my professional portfolio by pursuing a Human Resources Management Certificate at Fleming College, equipping me with additional tools to lead with empathy and integrity in the non-profit sector. I remain deeply committed to making a positive impact in the lives of those we serve and to leading with passion, creativity, and heart.
