Professional Experience
My career has been defined by impactful roles that foster engagement, connection, and meaningful storytelling. As a Communications Coordinator at The Mustard Seed, I craft media releases, manage digital newsletters, and oversee promotional campaigns that drive awareness and community involvement. Previously, I served as a Marketing and Communications Coordinator for the Bob Gaglardi School of Business and Economics, where I developed strategic marketing initiatives, curated digital content, and coordinated events that connected the university with its broader community.
Beyond corporate and institutional roles, my experience in frontline community support—as a Shelter Support Worker at The Mustard Seed and a Tenant Support Worker with the Canadian Mental Health Association—has strengthened my ability to communicate with diverse audiences and navigate complex social issues. These experiences have deepened my commitment to using communication as a tool for advocacy, education, and engagement.
