I have over 28 years of experience as a professional social worker working in a variety of institutional and community-based settings with a specialized interest in community development, partnership building, community-based research, training and program development advancing health equity and social justice.
Over the years I have supported many local, provincial, and national level projects, organizations and networks to become more trauma-informed and be more responsive to the needs of underserved equity-deserving populations.
I have several years of experience in teaching, leading and developing professional development courses, webinars, workshops, roundtables, community forums, toolkits and community education resources and knowledge exchange initiatives on key topics such as wellness, burnout prevention, mental health promotion, trauma and violence informed services, gender-based violence, anti-racism and anti-oppression practices.
