I am pleased to be your first point of contact at the Compassion Project to connect you with a therapist or resources within our community.  My education (Honors Sociology, Psychology, and Legal Studies and Criminology) has fueled the passion I have to spend my days being a source of support, comfort, and counsel to anyone in need.  My work, volunteer, and personal experience has varied through the years to provide me with knowledge in the field of healthcare. 

 

And now through my Master of Social Work program I have the opportunity to intern with this organization with an aim to advocate for others’ needs, and use my capabilities to facilitate change while upholding measures of inclusion and sensitivity. 

 

My lived experience with injury, illness, trauma and recovery has given me insight into a world of marginalization and oppression, and the skills necessary to be resilient and improve outcomes. 

 

I know how much help is necessary to move beyond difficult circumstances and I want to be a resource for that action to take place.  I hope to take my strength of providing compassion and empathy to each person I connect with here in this role.  I look forward to hearing from you!
