About

Hi, I manage community programs for youth in the Greater Toronto Area of York Region. The programs I am most interested in deal with: youth community mapping; resiliency; mentoring; youth-adult partnerships in running programs and e-learning. My current challenges include: expanding community services within a large urban High School, launching a youth community mapping project that would bring youth voices to community based research and learning all I can about ICT so I can integrate this learning into youth programming at the Community Resource & Learning Room.

I have a passion for cooking, reading on diverse subjects (fiction, non-fiction) and I am an avid tennis player who can't get enough of this great game.

Interests

designing programs, learning new ICT skills/tools/software programs, music, reading fiction/non fiction, tennis, working with small teams on big projects, writing, youth community mapping
