I hold a master’s degree in social work and am dedicated to empowering young people and helping them access and navigate social services. I predominately work with re-engaging students with their education. This is done through classroom support, one-on-one counselling and assisting in workshops. I am committed to fostering supportive environments that reignite students' enthusiasm for learning and building respectful relationships.
