As part of the ESYD team, I help maintain project schedules and ensure deliverables are completed on time. I am currently completing my Master’s in Indigenous history and am passionate about making education in Canada more accessible for all.

My commitment to accessibility and inclusion comes from my experience working and supporting students in their educational journeys. I believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to thrive, and I’m excited to contribute to an initiative that empowers youth with disabilities.

Outside of work, I’m an active member of the Fernwood Social Run Club. Running has taught me the value of consistency, resilience, and community—lessons that I bring into my professional life as well.

I believe that small, thoughtful actions can create meaningful change. I’m grateful to be part of a team working toward a more inclusive future.

 

I am grateful to live on the traditional lands of the Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̱SÁNEĆ Peoples and to call this place home. As a settler originally from England, I strive each day to be a more respectful and thoughtful guest on these lands.
