 About Me |
Beginning my social activist life at an early age, I have been with the Regional Multicultural Youth Centre since 1998. Since then, I have represented the youth centre at conferences across Canada, served as youth council president for two years, designed a girl's collective, served as fundraising officer and marketing assistant, and started Health Engaging Youth. I am a graduate for Recreation and Leisure for June 2008 and am taking courses towards my Social Service Worker diploma at Confederation College. During my exchange to Japan, I learned invaluable problem solving skills and cultural sensitivity. I am involved in environmental activism, youth engagement and First Nation's advocacy. I am currently working for St. Joseph's Health Centre as a Recreationist.
Anti-racism, safety, anti-smoking, gender issues, and technology are all topics that interest me. I plan to be a Social Worker in the future, so I plan to attend Lakehead University after receiving the SSW diploma next year. Bringing together my experience with youth-run organizations and the skills developed working at in informal and formal youth engagement, I hope to be involved in mental health and young people. I am part of a group begun as a project of The New Mentality called Health Engaging Youth. We are a youth-driven organization begun with the assistance of Children's Mental Health Ontario to reduce stigma and create input into the mental health system concerning young people.
In the future, I plan to continue my work with the Youth Council while continuing the partnerships that we have created. "Hope is necessary in every situation."
