Personal Profile
I have experienced the privilege of attending both Toronto Metropolitan University (Ryerson University) and Kings University College at Western University and aspire to obtain a Masters Degree in Health Studies from Athabasca University. Throughout these educational experiences I have developed sound, diverse, and exemplary educational experiences; all the while, engaging within the academic communities to grow and gain confidence in my practice. My employment history is seasoned with a broad range of patient and client experiences, increasing my competence to provide patient care and advocate on a dynamic surplus of levels. As a Registered Social Worker, it is my privilege to advocate and support those who experience oppression and systemic barriers to improve quality of life.
