Public relations professional advancing nonprofits

Presentations / Communications

I am a proud McMaster University alumna working in public relations. Through volunteering, I found myself in the nonprofit world, a sector that has helped me thrive personally and professionally. Since arriving as a newcomer to Canada in 2008, I have worked and volunteered for more than ten nonprofit organizations. In doing so, I utilize various communication channels and techniques to highlight the important work of different community organizations in the city. At 24 years old, I was honoured with the 2014 YWCA Hamilton Women of Distinction (Public Affairs category) award and the 2015 McMaster Hamilton Community Impact Award.
