So, I have a mix of experience in healthcare and working with kids. I started off volunteering at Mackenzie Health Hospital in their inpatient psychiatric unit, where I supported patients and families from different backgrounds. That experience really opened my eyes to how important it is to make people feel comfortable and understood, especially when they're going through tough times. After that, I moved into a professional role at Clarity Learning Therapy Clinic, where I work with kids with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and other developmental needs. I help run social groups and work one-on-one with them, which has taught me a lot about patience, communication, and adapting to different personalities. I would say my focus has always been on creating a welcoming, supportive environment wherever I work, and I'm excited to bring that mindset to new opportunities."
