Program Director | Youth Services | Youth-Centred Program Director at Taproot Community Support Services | Former Director of Youth Engagement at UNYA | Focused on inclusive, trauma-informed, and community-centered program development About Me: I’m a dedicated Program Director and community with extensive experience leading youth, health, and social service initiatives. Currently, I serve as Program Director at Taproot Community Support Services, where I oversee inclusive, strengths-based programming that supports individuals across diverse communities. Previously, I was the Director of Youth Engagement at the Urban Native Youth Association (UNYA), where I led a wide portfolio of culturally grounded programs focused on wellness, education, and leadership. My work bridges grassroots programming and systems-level change, always centering equity, collaboration, and community voice. I bring a trauma-informed approach to program development, team leadership, and partnership building—and I’m passionate about creating sustainable, meaningful impact. Let’s connect—I’m always open to sharing ideas, building partnerships, and working toward a more inclusive future in community care.
