I work as a frontline community worker whose practice combines lived experience, academic training, and direct service delivery in community-based environments. My work focuses on supporting individuals navigating complex systems, including housing instability, income assistance, employment barriers, and access to community resources.
Grounded in lived experience and committed to practical, trauma-informed community work, I focus on structured support, clear information pathways, and accessible tools that help individuals move from crisis toward greater stability.
Through field placements and program initiatives, I have contributed to employment programming, peer navigation models, workshop facilitation, and client support tools designed to strengthen participation and long-term outcomes within community services.
This portfolio highlights selected examples of that work, including professional projects, facilitation tools, academic research, and reflective practice developed during my Community Worker studies at George Brown College.
