Advocate , Youth Program Leader, Public Speaker, Lifelong Learner

It's been an enriching experience being part of the Cape Breton University community! Currently, I'm immersed in my Master of Education program, where my focus is on the vital area of sustainable development goals and how we can collectively build a brighter and more sustainable future. What's particularly special is that this journey marks my third degree from this wonderful university.

I was incredibly honored to receive the 2023 Cape Breton Vital Excellence Award. This recognition was especially meaningful as it celebrated my volunteer work with the young people in our community, something I am deeply passionate about.

My commitment to my studies has also provided me with some fantastic opportunities to connect with others. I had the privilege of representing my program at conferences in Charlottetown in August 2023, and later in Ottawa and Halifax in early 2024. I'm so grateful to the organizing institutions for their partial and full funding, which made these valuable experiences possible.

Most recently, I had the distinct honor of speaking at TEDx Cape Breton University. There, I shared my story, and my talk centered on the power of resiliency when we face life's challenges. It was a truly moving experience to connect with the audience and share something so personal.
