My roots equip me to support you

I am an experienced counsellor and coach, teacher, and pioneer in nonprofit project development both overseas and in BC. In my 20s, I co-founded a school in Sri Lanka to equip rural youth with the skills required to obtain employment that would lift their families out of poverty. I trained as a counsellor at the Theological College of Lanka. Back in Canada, as a single mother, I spearheaded innovative projects designed to foster community, create stability for vulnerable populations, and address community needs such as housing, employment, and mental health.

My work has engaged me with Inuit and First Nations communities, youth, single mothers, recent immigrants, and survivors of abuse and poverty in both urban and rural locations.

My decades of experience across cultural, faith, and socio-economic paradigms have refined my diplomacy and connection-building with individuals and groups at levels that enable transformative development. Experienced in violence prevention, conflict resolution, and curriculum development, I am also an experienced facilitator and creative problem-solver who generates ideas, turns ideas into action plans, and leads teams to fruition. 

In my spare time, I co-hosted an interview show for 7 years via a radio station in Vancouver, and more recently a Substack featuring podcasts and articles supporting women who have escaped extreme religions.
