Experience:

I hold an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Waterloo and work as an Employment Specialist, helping people navigate career transitions, employment barriers, and major life changes. My work draws on strengths-based support, motivational interviewing, and collaborative goal setting to help people recognize their abilities and move forward with confidence. I have also volunteered in crisis support as a Crisis Hotline Supervisor with the Certified Listeners Society, mentored young people through Big Brothers Big Sisters, and participated in community outreach through my church. At Resilient Roots Therapy, I contribute to social media, website development, resource organization, and administrative projects while learning more about the work of a community-centered mental health practice.

"I believe that thoughtful support begins with listening, recognizing people’s strengths, and creating clear, accessible resources and experiences that help them feel seen and empowered."

Fun Facts:

Outside of work, I enjoy cooking and experimenting with high-protein recipes, reading about psychology and personal growth, volunteering, and finding creative ways to make everyday systems more efficient. One of my favourite reminders is that “comparison is the thief of joy” — everyone’s path unfolds differently, and growth is worth celebrating at every stage.
