What do you love about what you do?

Holding space for youth to develop and build meaningful connections with one another energizes me, and to see them impact their local and wider communities fuels me even more!

What would an ideal free day look like for you?

I’d start by waking up slowly and taking my time to get ready to Kirk Franklin’s Tiny Desk Home Concert on YouTube. Then walk over to a coffee shop to journal while sipping on my americano misto with oat milk. I’d probably spend the afternoon deep cleaning before heading to the pottery studio. Later in the evening, I’d go for a sunset hike before coming home to cook a nice dinner and go to bed early. Or, I’d throw all that out the window and go for a day trip to Algonquin Park.

It’s karaoke night and you have no choice but to perform. What song would you choose and why?

Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You – (I Love You Baby) by Frankie Valli but Lauryn Hill’s version in E Major. It’s a viiiiiiibe!
