What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that allows me to leverage my project management skills in a collaborative environment focused on community engagement and outreach.

I am a dedicated project lead with a strong background in managing international outreach initiatives. Currently, I spearhead diverse teams at Global Outreach Initiatives, where I drive global programs that enhance community engagement. My experience includes efficiently managing project timelines and budgets, ensuring that objectives are met successfully and on time.

Previously, I held leadership roles at Children’s Believe, Sick Kids, and Plan Canada, where I facilitated communication between teams and stakeholders, organized impactful events, and developed strategic plans to achieve organizational goals. My ability to cultivate cooperation and resolve conflicts has been instrumental in fostering collaboration across distinct organizations.

With a Bachelor of Science degree in Astronomy and Chemistry from the University of Toronto, I have also contributed to academic and social events as an associate in the Erindale Chemical and Physical Sciences Society. My leadership roles in various clubs and my published work in aerospace demonstrate my commitment to education and community outreach.
