Leadership & Operations

I am a Black woman, a mother and partner, and proud University of Toronto Scarborough and Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) Alum. 

Experience/Area of Expertise: I have studied psychology and health studies, and I hold a Master of Education in Leadership and Community Development. I also hold a post-graduate certification in Human Resources Management and a post-graduate diploma in Art Therapy. I bring a unique and diverse skill set to team building and leadership. My experience in healthcare, understanding of human behaviour and organizational dynamics, and my deep interest in the therapeutic potential of creative expression as a means to improve mental health outcomes, allow me to foster inclusive environments.

Things I Love: I love dancing, listening to music (90s dancehall, hip hop, even a little R&B), and expressing gratitude. I love UTSC, my partner, our twin daughters, dog Kiwi, mental health advocacy, and being in the ocean, preferably off the shores of my ancestors' most recent birthplace, Jamaica, or other sunny destinations. I'm a water baby at heart! I love human services leadership, as it allows me the opportunity to serve, support, and be in community with others.

Things I love: I love to meet new people and to support, where I can, in their personal and professional goals. Sports and recreation activities have played a huge part in my life and have been a great joy of mine over the years. I am always interested in taking part in new experiences to broaden my horizons (particularly when it comes to food)!
