I am currently pursuing an Honours Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and Political Science at York University’s Glendon College. I am interested in pursuing a career in policy creation, reformation, and organization auditing upon receiving my degree. My work focuses on improving mental health services for children and youth through collaborative workshops, policy recommendations, and maintaining strong relationships with community partners.

I served as Youth Co-Chair for Every Mind Mental Health Service’s Youth Engagement Committee (the New Mentality group for Peel Region), where I co-develop programs, facilitate workshops and have created policy to enhance diversity, equity, inclusion, and anti-racism efforts. My advocacy extends to public speaking, where I have shared my experiences and insights on the mental health system from the perspective of a youth that has been in the system and as a youth who is now working to change it for the better of children and youth through various symposiums and events.

I am committed to driving positive change in mental health services and ensuring that the voices of young people are heard and valued in the development of policies and programs. I’m thrilled to be on the YAC and to be a part of the change we all strive to see.
