I have recently joined Hope in April 2025. I have worked in the mental health field since 2006 with an emphasis on facility and community work to integrate individuals back into the community. I have been passionate in supporting individuals and their families to overcome stigma and reach potential goals. Education has been a key role in giving me the foundation to be an effective supporter.  My educational background includes a Human Social Service Diploma, a Legal Assistant Diploma, a Continuing Care Diploma and a Recreation Certificate.  I spent several years as a Mentor to my peers, as well as a frontline support worker.  I have lived experience with anxiety and depression which has given me the drive and hope to encourage individuals to be successful in the community.
