About

I am a bilingual Child Rights Advocate and double B.A. Hons. degree candidate at Carleton University, majoring in Human Rights & Social Justice and Feminist Studies, with a minor in Community Engagement. It is my life's goal to support those of marginalized backgrounds and identities through the implementation of public policy that is guided by participatory action. My advocacy has paid particular attention to children and youth who have been harmed by their child welfare system. Having survived the foster care system myself, I am continuously striving to rise above my circumstances and ignite meaningful change. I am also a firm advocate for the social liberation of those that are: women; racialized; belonging to a religious minority; homeless; disabled; queer and trans; criminalized; low-income; immigrants; and/or Indigenous, Metis, and Inuit. I further engage with the community in the following volunteer roles: - General volunteer with the Canadian Coalition for the Rights of Children (CCRC) - Board Member of the TELUS Ottawa and Eastern Ontario Community Board - Youth Policy Maker with the Ontario Council for International Cooperation (OCIC) - Youth Network member with People Fo
