Bio
I am passionate about volunteer and community engagement and how volunteers and community members are involved and empowered within the non-profit sector. I have over 10 years working in volunteer management and community development. Currently I am the Program Manager for the Social Service Worker and Community Development Worker programs at Centennial College in Toronto. Before that, I supported the efforts of over 30,000 volunteers raising funds and awareness at the Heart and Stroke Foundation, coordinated volunteer and community engagement efforts at St. Christopher House, was the national volunteer coordinator at Amnesty International, and helped refugees at Romero House. I have presented at various volunteer development conferences, facilitated workshops on volunteer management and community development, and published a paper entitled “Questioning Volunteer Management”, proposing an alternative approach - from the traditional human resource management model to one rooted in community engagement.
