I have served in multiple leadership roles across nonprofits, ministries, and healthcare organizations for the last 29 years, including sitting on the boards of various local, provincial, and national organizations.During that time, I was the Lead Pastor of James North Baptist Church in one of Canada’s poorest communities. In 2020, we completed a $22 million facility with worship and ministry space as well as 45 affordable and supportive apartments. $21 million was raised. We were blessed to birth both a Portuguese-speaking congregation as well as a Karen congregation of Burmese refugees.I sat on the board of Compass Community Health for four terms, serving as the chair twice and leading the organization through building a new facility and searching for a new CEO.I truly love board governance, strategic planning, team building, and coaching others in fundraising, and I am particularly adept at navigating relationships with government agencies and serving immigrant communities.
