Academically, my background and training is in philosophy. I've spent several years working in various industries including sales, financial technology, finance and teaching. Currently, I'm pursuing my CCPA (Canadian Counselling & Psychotherapy Association) at Humber College's ADMH (Addictions and Mental Health) graduate program. I've always been driven to make a positive social impact, and feel strongly that my compassion and care for the well-being of others will enable to support people that are dealing with mental health and addictions afflictions. By the program's completion, I'll have gained the essential skills and competencies to conduct client assessments, and facilitate their individualized treatment plans in a sensitive and empathetic manner.
